Architecture
Kaila Devi temple architecture has stood the test of time and is wonderful example of building contrivance. Till today the temple has not crumbled or being subject to ruins in any sort of manner. The frontage of the temple holds intricate mosaic and relief work. The large Shikhar of the temple is also an architectural marvel. There is chowk in front of the main temple that is opened and on either side there is a verandah. The area around the temple is also adorned with various statutes. Another unique feature is that the temple is located at the foothills of the mountain and is surrounded by greenery. It is a good example of medieval architecture. The shikhar of the temple is very high like a pyramid. There is an open court and a prayer hall. The walls and pillars are decorated with ornamental work. The temple stands on a rocky elevation, so the shikhar can be viewed from a distance. The ornamental work, engraving and encarving have been done on walls and pillars. Red Stone of Karauli was used for construction of Temple.
Religious Significance
The goddess Kaila Devi is considered to be a form of the same goddess-Maha-yogini Mahamaya who had taken birth as the child of Nanda-Yashoda and with whom Lord Krishna was replaced as per the direction of Lord Vishnu. When Kansa tried to kill the girl child, she transformed into her Devi Roop and informed him that the one he attempted to kill was already safe and sound. She is now worshipped as Kaila Devi and as Vindhyavasini and Hinglaj Mata at other places. The arrival of the goddess’s likeness to this destination is a fascinating story. The statue was being carried on a bullock cart by a Yogi baba, fleeing from Nagarkot, to protect it. Kaila Devi meanwhile appeared to the sage Kedargiri assuring him that she would come to the people of the area. The Yogi’s sole bullock stopped in the central part of the hill amid the dense forest and refused to budge. By divine ordinance the statue was established at that very place.
History
With the blessings of Kaila Devi, the chandravanshi rulers of Karauli have always maintained a deep connection with the temple. Maharaja Gopal Singh Ji laid the foundation of the temple in 1723 and the work was completed in 1730. He also established the statue of ChamundaJi, bringing it from the fort of Gagraun where it had been placed by the Khinchi ruler Mukund Das Ji in 1150. Arjun Pal Ji built a large Kund, which exists to this date and was one of the earliest large-scale, man-made sources of water in the area.
