What is Mawli ?
Mawli or Mavli (मावली) is a local goddess worshipped by Jats, as well as other communities in Rajasthan, particularly Nagaur, Churu, Sikar etc being Jat dominated. Every village has a temple of the this Goddess. She is supposed to be protector of the village. It is believed that Mavli rectifies some physical disorders. The bride and bridegroom in Rajasthan first visit the Mavli temple to get blessings.
In very remote Bastar area in Chhatisgarh near Orissa tribal people worship the same goddess Mavli Devi. She is one of goddesses worshipped by Muria, Mahara and Rawat communities. Tribal Villagers believe that this Devi protects villagers from evil effects.
Does two very remote and far away inaccessible areas having same local common deity points to common origin ?
