Shyama Mai Temple

In the sanctum sanctorum, a huge statue of Maa Kali is installed on the right side of Mahakal and Ganapati and[1]Batukabhairava Dev on the left. The Mund Mala around the neck of the mother has the equivalent of the letters of the Hindi alphabet. Devotees believe that this is because the Hindi alphabet is a symbol of creation. Aarti held in the temple has special significance. Devotees who come here wait for hours to join the temple aarti. During Navratri,[2] the number of devotees increases and a fair is held here.[2]

The statue of mother was brought from Paris - Historians say that this statue came from Paris.[1] Visiting the feet of Mother Shyama Kali fulfills every wish of the devotees. On the part of the mother, there is a delectable Raktim or yellow cloth. This idol of Maa Kali is of four arms. The right hand always blesses the visiting refugees. The entire temple complex is always in a bustling mood and the atmosphere is vibrant with Jai Shyama Mai's Jayghosh.[3]

In this temple, mother Kali is worshiped with both Vedic and Tantric methods.[2] Usually in Hinduism the couple does not go to the cremation ground until after 1 year of marriage. But in this temple built in the cremation ground, not only newlyweds come to seek blessings, but weddings are also done in this temple. Experts say that Shyama Mai Mata is the form of Sita. Laldas, who was a servant of King Rameshwar Singh, has explained this in the Rameshwar Charit Mithila Ramayana. It is derived from the Ramayana composed by Valmiki. It is told that after Ravana was killed, Mother-Sita told Lord Rama that whoever slays Sahatrananda will be the real hero.[1]

On this, Lord Rama went out to kill him. During the war, Lord Rama got an arrow from Sahasranand. Mother Sita became very angry on this and killed Sahastranand. Mother's color turned black with anger. Even after the slaughter, his anger did not calm down, so Lord Shiva himself had to come to stop him. As soon as the feet were placed on the Lord's chest, the mother was very ashamed and the tongue came out of her mouth. This form of Mother is worshiped and she is called here as Kali not Shyama.[1]
