Rani Mandir / Shiv Temple
A board or Dharmarth Trust there tell u the direction of the temple. But u will feel disappointed because of a dirty & filthy unbuilt Nullah that flows along the kuccha road & u have to cross it before entering into the temple. There is no culvert on this Nullah & still date Nullah is also not built
The temple itself has a lot of land both in the front & in the backside with proper water fascilities for irrigation. If used properly it can provide revenue to the temple for its development. But there is lack of will power in the system and in the people. There is another place of Nag Devta in the temple premises where people pray for their safety.
Rani Mandir or ancient Shiva temple is located in Arazi Samba region of district Samba, Samba. This historical Shiva temple has memories of the past. From Sambyal Chowk in Samba on Arazi Samba road, a left hand kutcha street leads us there. From the condition of the road it doesn't look that on its end there is an ancient temple which has historical significance. Near its entrance is a Nag Dev Temple the which has a very impressive entrance but all in shambles
Rani Mandir is written on the temple gate. The Dharmarth trust has recently renovated it but it is better if it is preserved in its old golden color which looks splendid
This temple embraces history in itself. Standing alone in a lonely place, it still speaks of its grandeur. Legend says that this temple was built by the queen of Maharaja Suchet Singh. She used to worship Lord Shiva after taking ablutions in the holy river Basanter. As built by the queen, it is called as Rani Mandir. The temple is well looked after by the charitable trust & after renovation it looks beautiful.
But the tourism authorities have done nothing. The road and surrounding area itself expresses its carelessness.The well of the temple has not been cleaned. The Garb Grahya of the temple is very beautiful. The atmosphere here is very delightful. I often wonder this historical place is not on the tourism website. It tells the whole narrative itself.
No matter what the circumstances will be, this ancient temple will remind the people of its great Golden days
