Architecture
Origin of the Name - At first, the Devi must have been installed on a praised platform or 'Chaukiya' and probably because of this she was referred to as Chaukia Devi. Devi Sheetla is the representative blissful aspect of the Divine Mother, hence she was called Sheetla.
There are few traditions related to this Siddha, which prove historicity. People say that the name of the village of Sheetla Chowk in Devchand Mali was named Devchandpur. It is said that the devotee named Sheetla was a woman in Devchand's family. Her husband died only in short life. After that she became Sati. Devchand worshiping a brick kiln and stones at the same Sati site started worshiping. This incident is said to be around 1772. This place gradually became transformed into a temple. There is a koneru infront of the temple, steps down from all sides.
Religious Significance
One story says Goddess Durga has incarnated as little Katyayani, the daughter of Sage Katyayan to destroy all arrogant evil demonic forces of the world, in her real form as Durga, she killed many demons that were sent by Kaalkeya. A demon named Jvarasura, the demon of fever, started spreading incurable diseases to Katyayani's childhood friends, such as cholera, dysentery, measles, smallpox etc. Katyayani cured the diseases of some of her friends. To relieve the world from all fevers and diseases, Katyayani assumed the form of Shitala Devi. Each of his four hands held a short broom, winnowing fan, jar of cooling water and a drinking cup. With her power, she cured all the children's diseases.Katyayani then requests her friend, Batuk to go out and confront the demon Jwarasur. A battle ensued between the young Batuk and demon Jwarasur. Jwarasur succeeds in defeating Batuk. Then, Batuk, lying dead, magically faded into dust
History
It is believed that the temple of Chaukiya Devi was built in the glory of their clan deity either by the Yadavs or the Bhars but in view of the predilections of the Bhars, it seems more logical to conclude that this temple was built by the Bhars. According to the story, when Ibrahim Shah Sharki collapsed on the Vijay Mandir of Premrajpur, which was the temple of Shitala Devi along the Gomti river.
