Kaila devi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaila devi temple is a Hindu temple situated 23 km from Karauli in Rajasthan state in India. The temple is located on the banks of the Kalisil river in the hills of Trikut, 2 km. to the north-west of Kaila village.

The temple is dedicated to the tutelary deity, goddess Kaila, of the erstwhile princely Jadaun Rajput rulers of the Karauli state. It is a marble structure with a large courtyard of a checkered floor. In one place are a number of red flags planted by devotees.

A fair known as Kaila devi fair is held here every year in the month of Chaitra, starting from Chaitra Budi 12 and lasting for a fortnight. The Jadaun Rajputs regard the devi as their Kul Devi.
