This temple has great religious importance in Hinduism and is dedicated to the goddess Sankata Devi (Goddess of danger). The Mandir was constructed in 18th century by King of Baroda. It is believed that this is the only temple in India dedicated to Sankata Devi.[1][2][3][4][5] HistoryIn the late 18th century, the King of Baroda constructed the Sankata Ghat. At the same time, the Sankata Devi Mandir was also constructed. In the year 1825, the ghat was made pucca by the widow of Brahmin Pandit.[1] Religious importanceThe name "Sankata" has been derived from the Sanskrit word "sankat" ({{lang-hi|संकट}}) which means danger. Goddess Sankata Devi was originally a Matrika. In Puranas, she is referred to as Vikat Matrika, (the fierce mother). Sankata Devi is believed to have ten hands and the power to protect far away husbands and to ensure their safe return. During the Navratri, the eighth day is dedicated to Goddess Sankata Devi. The devotees pray to the deity with to avoid any danger in life or to alleviate any present crisis.
