Rani Sati Dadi Ji

Kuldevi is an epitome of Shakti, the supreme power. The deity consists of three Tridents or Trishuls placed vertically in series on a platform, either painted, embossed or sculpted on a plain surface like paper, metal sheet or marble. They symbolize Divine Mothers Udal or Udho, Maadal or Madho and Santosh. It is believed that Kuldevi is incarnation of Divine Goddesses Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati. Goddess Lakshmi is the energy that manifests as the complete spiritual and material well being of a person. Goddess Saraswati is the energy that removes all ignorance and is the source of knowledge and spiritual light. Goddess Parvati is the energy that shield to-ward off all negativities and mortalities. The combination of Three is storehouse of all positive and cosmic energy that gives love and protection, guidance and understanding. Hundreds of devotees and descendants gather at different temples of Kuldevi on Amavasya, the half moon or 15th day of lunar calendar month of Bhadra according to Vikrami Samvat. The day is celebrated with great fanfare and people offer puja at temples. Special puja is also organized at the houses of almost all the descendants. The oldest temple of Kuldevi exists at Buhana in Jhunjhunu District of Rajasthan. It is situated at the place of Divine Appearance of Kuldevi. It was fully renovated in 2005. Thousands of devotees and descendant take pilgrimage at this place every year.
