Ratangarh Mata Temple
Ratangarh Mata Temple is a Hindu temple in Datia, Madhya Pradesh, dedicated to Shakti.[1]
History
It is believed that Samarth Ramdas, guru of Maratha king Shivaji camped here to plan Shivaji's rescue from Agra Fort in 1666. Shivaji's cavalry commandos brought him at Ratangarh Mata Temple after the rescue as it was too dense a jungle for the Mughal army to comb.[2]
