It
is one of the Sakti-Peethas and an elaborate description of its glory is embedded
in Puranas like Sivapurana, Devibhagavata, beside Tantra granthas. Its
location at the foot of hills is enhancing its glory and bringing regular
streams of theists and tourists round the year. The sumptuous growth of green foliage
surrounding it exhilarates any visitor, irrespective of caste marks he
has on his forehead. The oddity that greets the devotees is - only the Jyoti
comes into their view on entering the temple. The resplendent jyoti burning
bright always is worshipped as Mother Jagajjani. Neither icon of any shape or
size; nor portrait in any colour is seen anywhere here. In this respect, it is
akin to Parsees offering worship to burning light. There is a kund - a tank
filled with pure water in front of the mandir. Every visitor taking bath or
washing his feet enter the temple and it is an established tradition followed
without exception. It is said that one of the organs of Sati fell here, when Sri
Mahavishnu cut the Sati's corpse borne by Lord Siva. Hence unprecedented
spiritual significance for visitation and adoration.
It lies near Jwalamukhi railway station and can be reached by
four wheelers.
