Khodiyar Maa rules over mind and heart. She rules over day and night. She rules over land and water. She chose a crocodile as her vehicle as it is an amphibian animal. This holy shrine of Maa Khodal is being constructed at Village Kagvad in Saurashtra, India, attracts lakhs of devotees from all parts of India and abroad. The temple is easily accessible and well connected to important cities of India through road. The scenic beauty, the landscape around and the constant chanting of “Khodaldham”, leaves a mystic effect on the devotees. Whenever you chant, ‘Jai Khodiyar’ with faith in it makes you feel elated, enlightened, enriched and empowered.

Words fall short of competence to illustrate the divinity and prowess of Khodiyar Maa. We can merely make an effort to share information on this site but it is your faith in Khodiyar Maa that can do wonders. Her bhakts across the globe, with faith in her can build a better world and a hygienic environment in the name of Khodiyar Maa; with her blessings. Jai Khodaldham.

Community

The history of Leuva Patels goes back to several centuries by their descendents residing all over the world, known for compassionate, hard working and very resourceful people. Leuva Patel Samaj has expanded their business activities at the international level contributing in educational sector, industrial sector, religious activities, science and technology, sports etc.

It is reliably stated that around 2000 years ago Leuva Patels migrated from Punjab to Gujarat, Patan to Adalaj and Karnavati. From there, they moved to Saurashtra, Kutch.

From 12th to 18th century, during the rule of Badshah Akbar, King Siddhraj Jaisingh, King Jamnaresh, Aurangzeb and other Rajput kings, these Kanabis (Patels) developed the areas for farming and thus becoming official owners of their land. These kings entrusted these sons of farming community for their efficiency in agriculture & hardworking nature. The Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel fought for the freedom of the country, honest in word and deed, used to be with the villagers all day and night and appreciated the minds of these farmers.

In 20th century, Leuva Patels received many notable achievements.

Now in 21st century, Leuva Patel community has moved towards path of unity.  Khodaldham is being developed to become very beneficial for the country and society to create a history.
