शीतले त्वं जगन्माता शीतले त्वं जगत्पिता।
शीतले त्वं जगद्धात्री शीतले त्वं जगद्गता॥

Chanting Maa Sheetla’s stotra is believed to cleanse the body of ailments and purify the mind of restlessness. Devotees offer neem, haldi, curd rice, and cold water to please the goddess and seek healing blessings.
 

According to Devi Bhagwat Purana, Maa Sheetla emerged from the divine fire of Shiva’s anger to destroy disease and pestilence. When humanity suffered from smallpox and fevers, she appeared as a calm, compassionate mother, carrying a cooling pot of healing water and riding a donkey.

It is said that visiting this temple in Varanasi grants immunity from ailments, especially to children, and shields the family from negative energies and unknown fears.
