Marble Khodiyar Mata Statue
The Beloved Kul Devi of Gujarat — Divine Protector, Healer & Eternal Compassionate MotherKhodiyar Mata is one of the most beloved and widely revered goddesses of Gujarat, worshipped as the Kul Devi — the divine ancestral protector — by millions of devotees across the state and throughout the Indian diaspora worldwide. Her name, derived from the word "khod" meaning lame or impaired, holds a profound spiritual teaching: that true divinity transcends all physical limitations and that compassion, courage, and grace are the highest expressions of divine power.
According to sacred tradition, Khodiyar Mata is one of the seven divine sisters — the Sat Baheno — born to Mamadiya Chaaran and his wife Deetal in the Saurashtra region. As a young child, she was struck lame after a divine encounter, yet her physical limitation never diminished her spiritual power. She is revered as the patron deity of the Leuva Patidar, Ahir, Bharwad, and many other Gujarati communities — her shrine at Khodaldham in Kagvad, Amreli district, drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year.
At Shilakrut, every Marble Khodiyar Mata Statue is handcrafted by master artisans with 50+ years of legacy, honoring the Goddess's sacred iconography in premium Makrana marble — an enduring tribute to her boundless compassion and protective grace.
Khodiyar Mata's legend is one of the most moving and spiritually profound in all of Gujarati devotional tradition — a story of divine birth, miraculous power, and eternal compassionate grace.
The legend of Khodiyar Mata begins with the sage Mamadiya Chaaran, who through years of sincere devotion was blessed with seven divine daughters — the Sat Baheno — each an embodiment of Shakti. Khodiyar, the youngest, became lame through a divine incident in her childhood. Yet rather than diminishing her power, this physical limitation became the very mark of her divine identity — for she who could not walk with two feet walked instead on the hearts of millions.
She is worshipped as the healer of the lame and the afflicted, the protector of livestock, the guardian of families and communities, and the compassionate mother who is always present in times of need. Her divine mount — the crocodile (makar) — symbolizes her mastery over the primordial waters of life, time, and fear. The crocodile that once threatened her devotees became her vehicle, a powerful teaching that courage transforms even the most fearsome obstacle into a support.
જય જય ખોડિયાર માતા, ભક્તોની રક્ષા કરો।
સાત બહેનોની સૌથી નાની, જગતનો ભાર ઉઠાવો॥
"Glory to Khodiyar Mata — protect your devotees. The youngest of the seven sisters, she who carries the burden of the world."
— Beloved bhajan of Gujarati devotees
Every element of Khodiyar Mata's divine iconography carries a profound teaching on compassion, courage, and the transformative power of sincere devotion.
As Kul Devi, Khodiyar Mata's murti holds a place of honour in the family shrine — the sacred centre around which all household puja is organised.
- Install in the home mandir or dedicated puja room — as Kul Devi, Khodiyar Mata traditionally occupies a central and honoured position in the family shrine
- East or north-facing placement is traditionally auspicious — the Goddess should face the devotee as they approach for morning puja
- Keep the surrounding space clean and elevated — fresh flowers, especially red and yellow blooms, and a lit diya are the traditional daily offerings
- Especially auspicious on Navratri, Fridays, and Khodiyar Jayanti — the most sacred days for her worship across Gujarat
- Devotees traditionally offer coconut, turmeric, kumkum, and yellow flowers — lighting incense and a ghee diya during morning and evening aarti
- Chanting "Jai Khodiyar Mata" or the Khodiyar Chalisa creates a powerful devotional atmosphere of protection and ancestral blessing
