TANOT MATA TEMPLE

Some 120 kilometres away from Jaisalmer is the Tanot Mata Temple. Tanot Mata is considered to be a reincarnation of Goddess Hinglaj. There are many stories of how during the 1965 India-Pakistan war, Tanot was under heavy attack and shelling. However, none of the shells or bombs fired at the temple exploded. This reaffirmed people’s faith that Goddess the temple.

 Post the war, the Border Security Force (BSF) rebuilt the temple and today, the temple is managed by a BSF Trust.
