Rewasa · Sikar · Rajasthan
A white shikhar rising against a bare Aravalli hillside, flags snapping in the desert wind, and the sound of bhajans drifting out of the courtyard — this is what greets pilgrims at Rewasa. This guide brings together everything you need to plan your darshan: routes, the festival calendar, temple etiquette and what to carry.
How to Reach
The temple lies in the Aravalli hills south of Sikar, in the heart of the Shekhawati region. Distances below are approximate road distances and may vary by route; please check a live map before you travel.
Road is the most convenient way to reach the temple. Taxis and buses run from Sikar city, and private cars can drive right up to the parking area near the temple.
Sikar Junction is the main railhead, with connections to Jaipur, Delhi and other cities. Ringas Junction, on the Jaipur side, is also commonly used by pilgrims.
From either station, take a taxi or local bus to the temple. During Navratri, extra local transport is usually available.
Jaipur International Airport is the nearest major airport, with domestic and international flights.
From Jaipur, the drive to Rewasa usually takes around two and a half to three hours depending on traffic and route.
Inside the Complex
Pilgrims enter through a carved stone gateway with small domed pavilions (chhatris), arches and lattice work in the Rajasthani style. A large covered canopy shades the courtyard, which is especially welcome in the fierce Shekhawati summer and during the crowded Navratri days. Banners of the temple trust announce festivals and arrangements.
Beyond the gate, the path leads towards the main shrine beneath the white shikhar. Queues for darshan are organised with barriers during busy periods. Inside, the Mother sits in a sanctum framed by silver- and gold-plated doors, wearing that day’s shringar of chunari, garlands and ornaments. Most devotees offer a coconut, chunari, sweets and flowers, bought from the stalls along the approach road.
Take a moment after darshan to sit in the courtyard. On most days you will hear a bhajan mandali or a family singing — and you are welcome to join in. Our dhun bhajans are easy to pick up on the spot.
Festival Calendar
Exact dates follow the Hindu lunar calendar and change every year. Check a current panchang or the temple trust’s announcements before travelling.
The spring Navratri brings one of the region’s largest fairs. Expect long queues, padyatris on the roads and bhajans day and night.
The autumn Navratri is equally grand, with akhand jyot, jagrans and kanya pujan on Ashtami and Navami.
Cool, dry days make winter the most comfortable season for families, elders and children.
Temperatures in Shekhawati can be very high. Plan darshan for early morning or evening and carry water.

Map
Before you leave, learn a few bhajans to sing on the way — the padyatra song Chalo Re Bhagto, Rewasa Dham is a favourite — and read the katha so that every corner of the temple speaks to you.
