Chauth Ka Barwara, settlement in Sawai Madhopur District, Rajasthan, India
Chauth Ka Barwara is a village in Sawai Madhopur district, in the state of Rajasthan, India, set on a flat plain used mostly for farming. Low houses built from local stone and earth line its lanes, and the Chauth Mata Temple stands at the heart of the settlement.
The settlement grew around the Chauth Mata Temple, which gave the place its name and drew pilgrims and traders from an early stage. Over time, it became a recognized stop along local routes crossing this part of Rajasthan.
The name Chauth Ka Barwara comes directly from the Chauth Mata Temple, which has shaped the identity of this place for generations. Around the temple, small stalls selling flowers and offerings line the path, giving visitors a clear sense of how faith is woven into daily routines here.
The village lies roughly 22 kilometers from Sawai Madhopur town and can be reached by road or via a nearby railway station. The months from October to February bring cooler weather, which makes getting around on foot much more comfortable.
The Chauth Mata Temple is said to be built over a natural rock outcrop that was considered sacred long before the temple structure was raised. This link between the rock and the shrine is still visible in the stone carvings that run along its base.
