History of this Temple

Alwar Narayani Mata Temple is believed to be an incarnation of Sati, the first wife of Lord Shiva. It is believed that when Narayani was going to her in-laws house for the first time, a snake bit her husband midway on the way home, which led to his death. Narayani was so stricken with grief that she sat beside him and prayed to Lord Shiva to either give life to her husband or allow her to commit sati with her dead husband.

Her devotion to Lord Shiva and her desire to be reunited with her dead husband was so strong that Shiva sent his sacred fire to consume them both. And she had become sati along with her husband. Since that time the temple of Narayani Mata is believed to have been established there.

To stop this sati practice, a big fair organized by the local people every year before 1993 at the temple site was banned by Shri Rajiv Gandhi.
