Architecture
Once you enter the gate, a concrete path leads you inside the premises of the temple. The entrance is wide enough to handle the rush that throngs the temple during the festivities. Further up, an arched structure stands midway and is lined with well-maintained lawns on one end and the other end hosts a small structure housing other deities. The plants have also been placed in risen platforms bordered by concrete which acts as a resting place for the pilgrims. The sanctum inside is built like a large hallway leading to a small room and the large hallway provides a glimpse of the main idol and the seating area for the pilgrims. The narrow path bordered with railings leads to the area which houses Sheetla Mata. The deity is surrounded in a room & the pilgrims can offer their prayers from a window-like structure built at a distance from the idol.
Religious Significance

Some two hundred and fifty years ago according to tradition, the Goddess appeared in a dream to one Singha, a Jat of some influence and a resident at the village of Gurgoan. The Devi communicated to Singha that she wished to leave Kesopur and directed him to construct a shrine for her in his village. At the same time, she authorized the fortunate Singha to appropriate all the offerings at her shrine. The orders of the goddess were promptly carried out. The shrine was built and flourished, its fame spread far and wide.
