Jawala Ji Temple

Mata Jawala ji is one of the very popular temples in the Hindu community. A lot of people visit this temple daily to pray in front of good and seek its blessings.

The temple is very well managed, especially the crowd management system is just amazing.

The only thing, I dislike about the temple, in gorakh tibbi the priest was very rude and forceful passing a lot of people without showing them the wonder of fire. They should understand that people are coming from very far away to pray and they should get their chance to seek blessings properly.

Jai Mata di, a historical place, most places to visit like Tara Devi temple, teda mandir, bhairo nath mandir, a trekking & beautiful place to visit

Although Mata Jawala G Darshan is very much soothing and divine, Expensive Parking, Very much commercialization (even in Mandir) is all one would observe. However, Road connectivity is good.

Throughout the Middle East and Asia one can find places of eternal flame. Fed by underground sources of natural gas, these flames were, for obvious reasons, seen as miracles and signs of the divine by ancient peoples. Worshipped by Hindu’s, Buddhists and Zoroastrians alike, the Hindu’s saw this magic fire as the incarnation of a Hindu Goddess they called Jwala Ji. (Also sometimes called it Jwala Devi, Jvala Jiand Jwalamukhi Ji.) Shrines were built around the fires and people came from across the lands to worship at them.

One such place is the Jwala Ji of Kangra. Done in the traditional Jwala temple style of a four cornered building with a small dome on top, it holds in its center a hollowed stone in which a flame has been burning for hundreds of years.

The legend associated with the temple is that Sati - granddaughter of Brahma and wife of Shiva -immolated herself to punish her father for not accepting her husband Shiva. (This story is where the rather horrific practice of “Sati” where a widow self-immolates herself on her husbands funeral pyre comes from. In his rage at loosing his wife, Shiva danced with her burned corpse on his shoulders and in doing so she fell into 51 pieces and landed on earth, each of them a holy place of worship for Hindus.

The Jwala Ji of Kangra is said to be Sati’s fiery tongue.

One of the oldest known pilgrimage destinations of Northern India, Jwala Ji Temple is around 32km South-West of Kangra and esteemed by the devoted Hindus of the country. There are several other temples dedicated to Goddess Jwala Ji, among which the one in Kangra district is believed to be the most auspicious. The temple is located in Jwalamukhi Town of Kangra. The main attraction of Jwala Ji Temple is the eternal flames representing the image of deity, Jwala Ji. The four cornered sanctum-sanctorum of the temple is set with a small dome and a square central pit where the sacred stone is found. The main flame of this temple keeps burning constantly. It is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas found in different corners of the South-East Asia. It is believed that the tongue of Goddess Sati fell on this ground. Offering coconut is a popular practice in Jwala ji Temple.

Legend
As per the legend associated with the temple, there was a cowherd who always used to find his cow without milk. One day he followed his cow till the grazing field and found that a young girl drank the cow's milk and disappeared with the blink of an eye. Seeing this, the cowherd went to the king and described about the incident. The king tried to trace out the place with the help of the cowherd but he failed. Few years later the same cowherd informed the King about a flame burning in the mountains. This time the king could spot the flame without much fail and being blessed with the view of this mysterious flame. It is the king who built this temple of Jwala Ji.

This place is very fantastic for roaming and getting knowledge of history i love thus place i will visit there very soon

Jwalaji (flame) or Jwala Mukhi (flame mouth) is probably the most ancient temple discussed here besides Vaishno Devi. It is mentioned in the Mahabharata and other scriptures. There is a natural cave where eternal flames continue to burn. Some say there are seven or nine flames for the seven divine sisters or the nine Durgas. It is here that Sati's tongue fell which can now be seen in the form of the flame. Sacred place

It is one of the, 51 shakti peeths very very powerful temple visit to her temple with pure heart and devotion she will fulfil all your wishes

प्रसिद्ध शक्ति पीठ जहाँ माँ भगवती जी ज्योती रूप मे अपने भक्तों को दर्शन देतीं हैं । बहुत ही भव्य और सुन्दर मंदिर देखने योग्य ।

Spirituality at its best. A powerful religious destination. The temple get closed at 9 pm after shayan aarti, so make sure you reach the temple in time.

Jawala Ji" is name of Hindu Goddess in Hinduism. She is said to resides as an eternal flame since time infinity near a place called Kangra in Lower himalayas, India. The mystical and astonishing fact about this flame is that it is burning since time immemorials.  

The religious history telling that when Lord Shiva was in unconsious state due to death of his wife Sati who threw herself in holy altar after her father accused Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu divided Sati's body into fifty one pieces which fell on earth at various places. These places came to known as Shakti Peeths and where Sati's tongue fell is Jwala Ji.  

Now many people can give the example of Baku Ateshgah, a place in Azerbaizan wherein a similar temple is said to be created since fire is sacred to both hinduism and zoroastranism. It has been established that the same was due to source of natural gas in the rocky region that begins around 16th century and is exhausted in current times. Case of Jwalaji temple is different since the flame is burning since time immemorial and is till burning naturally.  

Some facts that can be traced in this regards- 
The flame burns flawless and in blue colour. It is burning continously since first date of its known history. We don't have any knowledge of its source. Some says it could be reserve of natural gas but same could not be validated.  

Mogul chakravarthi Akbar even tried to extinguish this eternal flame but couldn't get successful.  

Governement of India with team of abled Geologists under Nehru Ji has also tried but in vain to establish the source of this eternal flame.  

You are now asking the reasons behind the burning of flame at Jwala ji temple in Kangra. The great Akbar failed, the great indian scientists and geologists failed and some other sceintific researches failed, and how could a mere citizen who read your question can answer the reasons? We are now joining the hands of Akbar and government of india and as usual we are also failing in this great religious subject.  

There is surely some other phenomena and science that is working behind Jwala Ji eternal flame but that can be indication of glory of our ancestors. Till now no scientists or geologists says nothing since they only tried their level best to find a clue. But, failed. Everyone should learn a lesson. They can do anything man to man and should not play with Gods.  

Even Mahavishnu and Brahma failed to reach the top and bottom of God Shiva and this is known to every hindu and whole world religious people. Why? That is God, Goddess and hence we call them ''Supreme Nature''.  

Finally, everything can not be tested and verified on principles of science and that is why it is often said " Where the thinking boundary of Science ends, Region of Spirituality begins

Apart from spiritual and cultural values, nothing impressive. People senselessly polluting the area.

A must visit temple for those going towards Dharamshala or Dalhousie. Ideal time is September end - October first as you would able to view the temple fully with ample time. Other times the place remains very crowded. The temple is spread over a large area having idols of different gods and goddesses. It will take atleast an hour for viewing all of them and even more if you visit during peak hours

Jai Jawala Mata ji,
Only one complaint parking rate is too. High they charge us 100rs for one hour for my car.

A religious historic place away from our science and technology, one really feels on the top of world and gets a lot of eternal satisfaction of divine thurst.

We had been there before quite a long time.but all devotees must visit the place.as it is natural flame from eras.on d root from Manali to delhousi

Spiritual place to visit.great sense of satisfaction received. Devotees were nicely my with appropriate time given to everyone for darshan

A Hindu temple which is very popular and good place to visit with your friends and family. You can come on weekends but on weekends there is great rush seen on the temple and long queue are made

A powerful temple of the godess or devi named after fire or jwala. Mata Chintpurni temple and Ma Chamunda devi and Ma Bagulamukhi temples are a few KMS away.

It is a nice and holy place people have a lot of faith in it people's go there to ask a fortune from the godess jawala
I also believe in the temple

4 stars for Temple, but poor parking services and disorganized croud management. Way to the temple can be improved. Temple management board has to think seriously regarding the services and the process of darshan.

A pleasant drive to the place, very novel experience to see the flames, just a regret that I could not touch the "jwala", which is supposed to be cold. A pleasant experience.
