temple complex that now stands dates back to the 12th century. The Sachiya Mata Osiyan Temple in Rajasthan is dedicated to Sachi Mata. Sachi Mata, also known as Indrani, was the consort of the rain-god Indra
The main shrine, along with the other two temples - the Chandi Ka Mandir and the Amba Mata Mandir, was constructed around circa 1178.
This 12th century temple is built at the place of the old temple which was made in 8th century by Parmar King Upendre
The temple of Sachiya Mata is dedicated to Goddess Sachi Mata (wife of Lord Indra) and is equally important for Hindu and Jain people. Featuring Jain architecture, the temple is important to the Bafna Clan of Jains, who prefer to conduct their 'Mundan-Sanskar' in the Sachiya Mata Temple. The Nagas of Osian, dwelling in the surrounding area, even after their conversion into Jainism, worship Sachiya Mata.
Goddess Sachiya Mata is also worshiped by the Oswal Jains
