Ancient Temple of Goddess Nadeshwari: –
The temple of Nadeshwari Mata is located at Nadabet in the vast desert of Banaskantha district on the India-Pakistan International Border. 20 km from Suigam of Vav taluka. Nadabet, a military base near the remote village of Jaloya, is a center of worship for millions of people. There is an ancient temple of Nadeshwari Mata right next to the BSF camp. Mother Nadeshwari is worshiped not only in Gujarat but all over the country as the mother of security.
History of the temple: –
The history of Rakshak Devi is unique. According to a legend, when King Navadhan of Junagadh with his large military convoy invaded his sister Jasal to free him from the captivity of the Muslim king of Sindh. This Charan Kanya is worshiped as Shri Nadeshwari Mataji. There are several bat islands in the Kutch desert, of which Nadabet is a historically ancient bat.
In addition Nadeshwari Mata was visited by Indian Army officers during the India – Pakistan war in 1971 and Mataji’s leaflets did not explode the enemy’s cannonballs. This will probably be the only temple in India where Mataji’s Seva, Aarti, Archana and Pooja are performed by no priest but by BSF Javan himself.
Mataji has a unique history of parcha and vaibhav. Emerging from the vast expanse of desert, soldiers and devotees guarding Mabhom, this desert island is an auspicious combination of devotion and strength. Every year a large number of visitors come from far and wide to Nadabet border. Thousands of pilgrims flock to this fair every year on the day of Chaitra Sud Nom.
