The Tanot Mata Temple, also known as Mateshwari Tanot Rai Mandir, is the same temple that was featured in the Bollywood film “Border.” The Tanot Mata temple was unharmed despite Pakistan’s heavy shelling during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. The temple lies close to the border between India and Pakistan, and tourists are not allowed to pass by it.

When faced with difficulty, having faith in God can frequently help one find the strength they need. The Indian Army is full of tales of how God intervened to save Indian warriors who were on the verge of extinction.

The story of Tanot Temple at the Longewala border in Rajasthan is one such miraculous tale when the local deity Tanot aka Awad Mata didn’t let any Pakistani tank bomb explode and Indian soldiers who were certain of martydom and defeat went on to crush the Pakistanis in both 1965 as well as 1971 wars.
