There is an ancient Temple dedicated to Shree Jeen Mataji(Goddess of Power). Millions of devotees assemble here for a colourful festival held twice in a year in the month of Chaitra and Ashvin during the Navratri. There are a number of dharamshalas to accommodate large number of visitors.

The temple was constructed around 1200 years ago. The temple of Jeen Mataji was a place of pilgrimage from early times and was repaired and rebuilt several times.

Jeen Mata's main followers include the Acharya, Brahmins, lohar, Yadavs / Ahir, Rajputs, Agarwal, Jangir and Meenas along with Baniyas of the Shekhawati area. Jeen Mataji is the kuldevi of Acharya(आचार्य ) / Brahmins, Yadavs / Ahir, Agarwal, Kasliwal,Meena, Jats, Shekhawati Rajputs (Shekhawat & Rao Rajputs and other Rajput residing in Shekhawati area) and Jangir, of Rajasthan.

There is a belief that in a village Ghoghu of Churu, king Ghangh loved and married an apsara on the condition that he would not visit her palace without prior information. King got a son called Harsha and a daughter Jeen. The two children practiced extreme asceticism and with time Jeen gained status of Durga as her avatar and Harsha as incarnation of Bhairon. Jeen Mata is also known as Mahishasura Mardini Durga with eight arms.
