About the Project
Help Restore the Abode of Faith and Hope
The Plight of Shitala Mata Temple:
Nestled on the serene Shitala Ghat, adjacent to the bustling Dashwamedha Ghat, the Shitala Mata Temple stands as a beacon of hope and faith in Varanasi. Dedicated to Goddess Shitala, this sacred sanctuary also houses the revered shrine of Goddess Santhosi. Daily, thousands of souls seek solace and blessings within these hallowed walls.
Yet, today, this bastion of spirituality faces a dire challenge. For two long years, the temple's rooftop has lain in disrepair, allowing the relentless rain to seep through, threatening the sanctity of worship and the comfort of the pilgrims. The upcoming monsoon looms large, promising not just water but a deluge of distress for the faithful.
Our Mission:
We stand at a crossroads where action can change the course of this crisis. The Shivdhaam Foundation, committed to serving the spiritual community, has taken the mantle to spearhead the **Shitala Mata Temple Reconstruction Campaign** to rebuild the damaged rooftop, ensuring a dry and safe space for worship.
Your Role:
Every contribution, big or small, can make a difference. Your donation will not only restore the temple's structure but also rekindle the light of hope in the hearts of many. Together, we can ensure that the Shitala Mata Temple continues to be a place where wishes are fulfilled, and faith is reaffirmed.
How to Contribute:
Join us in this noble endeavor. Your support can be the cornerstone of this temple's revival. Donate today and become a part of a legacy of compassion and preservation of our sacred heritage.

Updates
Update Phase Second
Phase 2: Shivling Copper Work & Wall Restoration In the second phase, we removed the deteriorated steel frame around the sacred Shivling and installed ornate copper work, restoring its divine aura. Simultaneously, the temple walls were replastered and freshly painted, ensuring structural strength and a spiritually uplifting ambiance.
Update Phase First
Update | Shitala Mata Temple Reconstruction Progress Phase-wise Overview Phase 1: Flooring Renewal Starting in early March 2024, we carefully deconstructed the old, worn-out flooring of the temple. It was replaced with new, durable tiles, enhancing the sanctity and aesthetic beauty of the temple premises for all devotees.
Update Phase Third
Phase 3: Garbhagriha and Structural Reinforcement The third phase focused on comprehensive restoration of the Garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum). Both interior and exterior walls were renovated, and a steel frame was embedded to fortify the temple’s core structure, ensuring its endurance for future generations. Grand Bhandara Ceremony Upon the successful completion of all reconstruction work, a Grand Bhandara was organized outside the temple premises. With divine blessings, over 10,000 bhakts were lovingly served prasad, marking the new beginning of Shitala Mata Temple with devotion, unity, and celebration.
