Maa Sheetla is an incarnation of Goddess Parvati and Durga and she is also known to cure various pox diseases. Maa Shitala is popular as Mariamman in Tamil Nadu. She has wide spread acceptance among Hindi devotees across India. A donkey (ass) is ride of Maa Sheetla and People pray to her for getting cured from diseases like small pox, chicken pox. Yesterday, my family organised open Langar at Maa Sheetla Temple to show respect to Maa. Below, I am enclosing some of pictures of this occasion.
