==History==
The temple is the main Dham (meaning: [[abode]]) of the Jasnath sect. Jasnath ji Maharaj, while taking samadhi, ordered Haroji to establish Dharmapeeth, propagating Dharma sect. It is known for the fire dance ('''Hindi''': Agni Nritya)<ref>{{cite web|title=Agni Nritya|url=https://www.indianculture.gov.in/intangible-cultural-heritage/performing-arts/agni-nritya|language=en|access-date=2022-01-23|publisher=Indian Culture-Government Of India}}</ref> of the Jasnathi Siddh community.<ref>{{cite book|author=K.

The Jasnathi community was formally launched in [[Vikram Samvat]] 1561, after making Ramuji Saran promise to follow thirty-six religious rules. Siddhacharya Jasnathji himself completed Ramuji's formal initiation ceremony.

Siddhacharya Jasnathji's appearance occurred on the auspicious festival of Kati Sudi Ekadashi, Devuthani Gyaras Vaar, in the [[Brahmamuhurtha|Brahma Muhurta]] on Saturday. One of the reasons for his incarnation as Siddhacharya Jasnathji is said to be that [[Hammir Singh|Hamirji]], the ruler of Katariasar village, had done penance in Satyayugadi. In fulfilment of his boon, Jasnathji's were found as a child near the Dabhala pond in the north direction of [[Katariasar]] village. This incident can be tallied to how [[Kabir|Kabir ji]] appeared on a lotus flower, after taking the form of a child, in [[Lahartara Pond|Lahar Tara pond]] in Kashi. Rushi Ashtanand Ji was an eyewitness of this wonder.

When Jasnathji was young, he sat in a hearth full of coals. When mother Rupande took him out in panic, she was stunned to see that there was no burn mark on the child's body; the fire had no effect on him. Even today, performing a fire dance on the flaming embers is a beautiful act of the [[Siddha|Siddhas]] of the Jasnathi sect, which remains a centre of attraction for domestic and foreign tourists.

In Shrimad [[Bhagwad Gita]] chapter 4, verses 32 to 34, it is mentioned that for one to know the actual spiritual knowledge of that supreme God (Purn Brahm), a devotee will have to understand the tatvagyan (knowledge of the essence of life) from the Tatvadarshi saint (one who knows all the Holy Scriptures and gives true worship of God to his disciples).

Siddhacharya Jasnathji was engaged to Kalaldeji at a young age who was the daughter of Nepalji, a resident of the village of the state. Kalaldeji is considered to be the incarnation of Sati and Bhagwati.

Jasnathji took a living tomb at the young age of 24 years.<ref>{{cite book |title=Philosophy emerging from the poetic expressions of Rajastan s Nirgun saints Dadu Dayal Jasnath Ji and Jambho Ji|year=2018 |publisher=Shodh Ganga |location=n.p. |hdl=10603/549738 |url=http://hdl.handle.net/10603/549738|access-date=2024-07-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Jasnath Jasnathee samprayday ebong sahitya gabeshanatyak adhyayan volume 3|year=1982 |publisher=Shodh Ganga |location=n.p. |hdl=10603/152982 |url=http://hdl.handle.net/10603/152982|access-date=2024-07-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=[List of Other Papers Presented] Proceedings of the Indian History Congress, vol. 63, 2002, pp. 1369–80.

== [[Katariyasar|Festivals]] ==
[[File:Jasnath Ji Fire Dance At Baytu (cropped).jpg|thumb|Jasnathi male performing the fire dance of Jasnath Sect]]

They have three main festivals -

# '''[[Ashvin (month)|Ashwin]] Shukla [[Saptami]]:''' It is celebrated on the day of Jasnath ji taking samadhi, i.e. Nirvana festival of Jasnath ji.
# '''[[Magha (month)|Magh]] Shukla [[Saptami]]:''' It is celebrated in memory of Jasnath ji's disciple Hansuji seeing the light appears.
# There are two festivals in [[Chaitra]]: '''Sati ji's festival''' is celebrated on Chaitra Sudi Chauth, and '''Jasnath ji's festival''' is celebrated three days later on Saptami.

Jasnathi community (around 90% jat and 10% other casts) people come to [[Katariasar]] on [[Chhath]] to glimpse Sati mata and return to [[Saptami]] after waking up at night. Jats and other servants coming from that side stop. The festival of Saptami has celebrated there itself. In other festivals, everyone wakes up in their villages a day before. At the time of the fire dance, they sing seven hymns to the sound of drums and majors. In a way, this sect is mainly of [[Jats]] only.<ref>{{cite book |title=Rajasthan ke nirgun sunth dadu dayal jasnath ji evam janmbho ji ki kavyaathmak abhivyakthiyum se ubhartha hua darshan|year=2018 |publisher=Shodh Ganga |location=n.p. |hdl=10603/543076 |url=http://hdl.handle.net/10603/543076|access-date=2024-07-22}}</ref>

==Panorama==

In March 2024, the [[Rajasthan]] Chief Minister [[Bhajanlal Sharma]] announced a series of cultural and [[Cultural heritage|heritage]] projects, which include the construction of a panorama dedicated to Jasnath Ji in [[Katariyasar]]. The project aims to preserve and promote the heritage associated with the temple and its founder. The planned panorama is intended to serve as a cultural landmark, providing information about the life and teachings of Jasnath Ji and enhancing the temple's role as a site of tourism and pilgrimage.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rajasthan CM announces multiple cultural, heritage projects |url=https://theprint.in/india/rajasthan-cm-announces-multiple-cultural-heritage-projects/2002576/ |website=The Print |date=March 2024 |access-date=July 22, 2024}}</ref>
