The city of Sawai Madhopur is known to have a number
of beautiful temples nestled in the most exquisite surroundings.
Not only are these temples a beautiful sight to behold
but they are also known for having a lot of religious

Among the temples of the city, Chauth Mata Temple in
Sawai Madhopur has a prominent place. Although the temple
is located at a distance of nearly 35 kms from the city,
still it is visited by a large number of devotees on
various occasions. The temple that nestles on a hilltop
is reached by climbing stairs that seem to be endless
to the person who is arriving for the first time. Thousands
of religious and adventure tourists arrive at this temple
to seek blessings from Chauth Mata who was known to
be the main deity of the ruler of this region.
It is believed that Maharaja Bhim Singh built the Chauth
Mata Temple in Sawai Madhopur. He was known to have
brought the idol of Chauth Mata from a place known as
Pachala, located 15 kms south of Bharwada and placed
the idol on this hilltop. Hence the place came to be
known as Chauth ka Bharwada and this temple came into
existence. The temple also has a beautiful idol of Lord
Ganesha and an idol of Bhairav within the main area.
The temple has been constructed in Rajputana style
of architecture and has an extensive use of white marble.
Beautiful carvings can be seen on the walls, pillars
and ceiling of the temple. The tourists arriving here
can have a panoramic view of the meadows and wonderful
landscapes.
