About this place
History & highlights
The present main temple was built between 1811–1815 by Maharaja Gopal Das Singh of Mani Majra. About 200 m away, the Patiala Shivalaya was constructed in 1840 by Maharaja Karam Singh of Patiala, adding another important shrine within the complex. After Independence the temples suffered neglect until the Shri Mata Mansa Devi Shrine Board was created by the 1991 Shrine Act to manage and develop the complex. Today it is one of North India’s top Shakti pilgrimage centres, with large-scale corridor, infrastructure and yatri-niwas upgrades continuing under state and central schemes.
