Shri Tanot Mata Temple, Jaisalmer

The Shri Tanot Mata Temple, located near the India–Pakistan border in Jaisalmer district, is one of the most sacred and historically significant temples in Rajasthan.

It is dedicated to Goddess Tanot Mata, believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Hinglaj Mata.

The temple gained fame during the Indo-Pak wars of 1965 and 1971, when several bombs dropped nearby did not explode, which devotees see as a divine miracle.

Maintained by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF), the temple stands as a symbol of faith and patriotism.

The temple’s simple yet divine architecture adds to its spiritual charm.

Devotees and tourists visit to offer prayers and witness the museum displaying war relics and unexploded bombs.

The area around the temple offers beautiful desert landscapes of the Thar region.

A visit to Shri Tanot Mata Temple provides a unique mix of spirituality, history, and national pride.
