About Jeen Mata Temple
A goddess temple at the foot of the Aravalli about 30 km south of Sikar, roughly a thousand years old and the kuldevi of many Shekhawati families. The story tells of Jeen and her brother Harsh, whose hill temple stands above, and of a swarm of bees that drove off an army sent to destroy the shrine. The Navratri fairs in Chaitra and Ashwin fill the village for nine days each.
What to see and do
- The sanctum of Jeen Mata
