At Gurugram in Haryana stands the Sheetla Mata temple, one of the most visited Devi shrines of the region, dedicated to Sheetla Mata — the Mother revered as a healer, the goddess who cools fevers and protects against disease. Also honoured here as Masani Devi, the Goddess is beloved as a compassionate protector of children and families.
The temple draws vast crowds of devotees seeking health and blessing, above all during its great annual fairs in the spring and autumn Navaratris, when pilgrims come from across Haryana and Delhi. Sheetla Mata of Gurugram is among the most cherished Mother-goddess shrines of the northern plains.
