However, there is a place on the India-Pakistan border where even the effect of bombs becomes ineffective.

There is a miraculous temple near the India-Pakistan border in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. The name of this place is Tanot Mata Temple. The tale of miracles of this temple is not limited only to the local people, but the Indian Army also believes in its power and glory. Let us know some important and interesting things related to this mysterious temple.

Where is Tanot Mata Temple located?

Tanot Mata Temple is located near the India-Pakistan border, about 120 km from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. This temple is located in the middle of the wilderness spread in the Thar Desert, where tourists have to pass through the desert area to reach. It is a popular belief that Tanot Mata is the Kuldevi of the Charan community of Jaisalmer-Barmer region. Tanot Mata is considered to be a form of Hinglaj Mata. This temple is dedicated to the incarnation of Mata Avad Mata (Durga).

Miracle seen in Indo-Pak war

During the 1965 war, the Pakistani army heavily bombed the Tanot area. During this time, the Pakistani army dropped about 3,000 bombs on this temple complex, but it did not affect the temple. At the same time, more than 450 bombs did not even explode.

After this, in the 1971 Indo-Pak war, the Pakistani army also attacked this area, but the temple remained completely safe once again.
