Rajapara Khodiyar Mandir | Khodiyar Ma | Ma Khodal | Khodiyar Mandir Bhavnagar Khodiyar is a Hindu goddess worshiped mainly by the Charan-Gadhvi community in Gujarat and in some parts of Rajasthan in India. The suffix Mata or Maa (meaning"mother") is generally added to her name, similar to other Hindu goddesses. Legend The legend of Maa Khodiyar is around 700 AD. A man called Mamadiya Gadhvi (Mamadji Charan) lived in the Roishala village in Bhavnagar district. He had good relations with the then ruler Maharaj Shilbhadra. The ruler's ministers envied this exceptional relationship and hatched a plan to get rid of Mamadiya. They were not very successful at persuading the king, but they succeeded in persuading his queen.One day, the doorkeepers did not let Mamadiya go into the palace. When Mamadiya asked for the reason, he was told that a childless man is not worthy of the king's presence. Mamadiya returned home and prayed to the god Shiva for progeny and decided to perform "Kamal pooja" by sacrificing his life. Just when he was about to kill himself, Shiva appeared and took him to the Snake Kingdom – Nagaloka to see the King of Snakes – Nagadev. After hearing his story, Nagadev's youngest daughter and her seven siblings decided to help. The youngest daughter advised him to make eight cradles for eight children. Later due to the boon of Shiva and Nagadev, he was blessed with seven daughters (one being Janbai alias Khodiyar) and a son. The children were raised as fearsome warriors and always wore black clothes in memory of their native place, Nagaloka. Therefore, they were given the names of cobra sisters or Nagnechi, who was also the tutelary deity of the royal house of the erstwhile Marwar state. Janbai saved her brother's life who was bit by a venomous bite by journeying underwater to Nagaloka and returned with amrita (the elixir of life) with her. Janbai suffered an injury to the foot and could not walk properly so she rode a crocodile back to the surface, earning her divine status. She was known as Khodiyar from the word khodi (limping) and the crocodile began her mount.
