Sikri Mata Temple

Sikri Mata Temple is a Hindu shrine in Modinagar that houses a sacred stone idol of the goddess in its central sanctuary. The interior is defined by carved stone walls and pillars that create a structured space for worship and prayer.

This shrine was founded more than 1100 years ago in Vikram Samvat year 965 and became a major religious center in the region. Its long existence shaped it into a place whose importance was maintained across centuries.

The temple draws worshippers who come daily to offer prayers and make offerings at the shrine dedicated to the goddess. The rhythm of devotion here is tied to seasonal celebrations and the arrival of pilgrims throughout the year.

The shrine is open from sunrise to sunset and welcomes visitors during prayer times. During major festivals, special arrangements are made to accommodate the large number of pilgrims who come to visit.

The shrine follows an unusual practice of keeping the deity enclosed in a sealed box that opens only during specific celestial moments. This distinctive approach to housing the goddess sets it apart from other temples in the area.
