Sheetla Chaukiya Dham

Sheetla Chaukia Dham

The Sheetla Chaukia Dham is an ancient temple complex located in Chowkiya, Panchhatiya, Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The main temple is dedicated to Goddess Shitala, who is believed to be an incarnation of the Divine Mother.

History

The temple's history dates back to the era of Hindu kings, when the Ahir rulers governed Jaunpur. It is believed that either the Yadavs or the Bhars, who were non-Aryans, built the temple as a shrine to their clan deity. However, based on the Bhars' predilections, it seems more likely that the Bhars constructed the temple[Source].[1].

The Bhars held power in Jaunpur and worshipped Shiva and Shakti. It is thought that the Devi was originally installed on a raised platform or 'chaukiya', which is how she came to be known as Chaukia Devi[2].

Architecture and Significance

The temple complex contains the main Shitala Devi temple along with other shrines to local deities. There is also a pond within the premises[3]

The temple is highly revered by locals, who believe it is necessary to seek the blessings of Mata Sheetla before leaving the district for safety and well-being[3]. A large crowd gathers at the temple during the Navratri festival.

An ancient Neem tree, believed to be over 300 years old, stands in the temple compound.
