Last updated

Dev Mogra (also Devmogra or Yaah Devmogi) is a figure in Hindu mythology, a goddess for the Satpuda mountain people.

There is a temple to this goddess on a mountain near the city of Sagbara in the state of Gujarat, India. [1] [2] The temple was said to have been created seven generations back when the then high-priest saw a vision of Dev Mogra. [2]

There is an annual festival at the temple from February to March where an estimated 5 to 7 Lakh (500,000 to 700,000) people attend. [2]
