Shyama Mai Temple
About Shyama Mai Temple
Shyama Mai Temple stands as an extraordinary sacred site in Kathalbari, Darbhanga, Bihar, built upon the cremation grounds of Maharaja Rameshwar Singh, a revered king of the Darbhanga royal family. This unusual placement makes the temple architecturally and spiritually distinctive. Established in 1933 by Maharaja Sir Kameshwar Singh, the temple follows nagara style architecture and is dedicated to the goddess Kali. The temple complex encompasses multiple shrines, including those of Annapurna and Mahadeva, and features a serene pond within its premises. It serves as a significant pilgrimage destination where devotees perform Manglik rituals and seek the goddess's blessings. The temple is particularly known for its evening aarti, which draws large congregations of worshippers. Its proximity to Darbhanga railway junction and the historic Darbhanga fort makes it easily accessible to visitors.
