Architecture

A staircase of hundred steps leads to the pious temple which will not only proffer you with a marvellous glimpse of the Temple. Sachiya Mata temple comprises of 7 smaller complexes, 4 of which are located on the eastern side and the other 3 on the western.The entrance of the temple is formed by a string of beautifully sculpted and whimsically decorated arches. A long flight of stairs takes one to the fore-chamber, which enshrines the idol of Sachiya Mata along with the images of other Hindu deities. Before the pavilion and beyond the gateway are many sandstone statues of different incarnations of Goddess Durga. These were excavated by archaeologists and installed within the temple. At the north end of the temple, there is a statue of Varaha (boar), an incarnation of Lord Vishnu and in the east, there is an image of Lakshmi and Vishnu.

Religious Significance

The Sachiya Mata Temple is a holy shrine of the Osian Kuldevi and is also known as the hub of Hindu and Mahavir temples. In Hindu religion, Kuldevi is known for protecting an entire clan of a particular region. The temple’s past takes you long back into the time when there stood a temple of Goddess Chamunda Devi, who is known as the 9th and the final incarnation of Goddess Durga. As fierce and fiery as her name, Goddess Chamunda is known for her story of forgiveness and kind gesture she projected towards an Acharya. The Acharya once had stopped the devotees from practicing sacrificial activities in her devotion. Hundreds of buffaloes were sacrificed, and their meat and blood were offered to her till the Acharya terminated such activities. The Goddess furious with the acts of Acharya, punished him and took his ability to see. The Goddess was taken by surprise when she saw that Acharya was not affected by her actions and asked for forgiveness from the Acharya. Thus, Acharya named her Sachi Mata and that is how the temple got its name. Now, aficionados from around the country offer her Chandan (Sandalwood) and Kesar (Saffron) in order to show their respect and devotion towards the deity.

History

The temple was built by Parmar King Upmendre in the 8th century which was further renovated later in the 12th century.
