Sheetla Mata Mandir, located in the heart of Basti Sheikh, Jalandhar, is a highly revered temple dedicated to Maa Sheetla, the goddess associated with healing, protection from diseases, and well-being—especially for children.

The temple is one of the most prominent shrines in the locality and attracts a large number of devotees, particularly mothers and families who come to offer prayers for the health and safety of their children. Offerings of halwa, puri, and curd are commonly made to the goddess as part of traditional rituals.

The temple’s architecture is modest yet spiritually vibrant, and the inner sanctum holds the sacred idol of Maa Sheetla, which is adorned with flowers and red cloth, symbolizing strength and protection.

During Navratri and especially during Sheetla Ashtami, the temple becomes a major spiritual hub with long queues of devotees, devotional bhajans, and rituals that fill the atmosphere with divine energy.

Peaceful and spiritually uplifting, Sheetla Mata Mandir remains a pillar of faith for the people of Basti Sheikh and nearby areas.
