==Name==<br />
Before being known as Naganechi, the goddess was revered as ''Chakreshwari''. Historical texts like the '<nowiki/>''Moondiyad Ri Khyat''<nowiki/>' and '''Udaybhan Champawat Ri Khyat''<nowiki/>' describe how Rao Dhuhad brought the statue of Chakreshwari from [[Kannauj]] and established it in Nagana. The goddess's name evolved from 'Nagana', the village where she was established, with the suffix 'chi' signifying 'of Nagana'. Thus, Naganechi means 'of Nagana', cementing her as the guardian deity of the Rathores.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Naganechiyan Mata - Kuldevi of Rathore Dynasty |url=https://www.vedadhara.com/nagnechi-mata |access-date=2025-04-07 |website=www.vedadhara.com |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[Rao Doohad|Rao Dhoohad]], son of [[Rao Asthan]] and grandson of Rao Siha—the founder of the [[Kingdom of Marwar]]—brought the idol of Chakreshwari Mata from his ancestral homeland of Kannauj between 1295 and 1305. He installed the sculpture in the town of Nagana, where a grand temple now stands in her honor.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Deepsa |date=2020-09-21 |title=Nagnechiya Mata Nagana History: Kuldevi of Rathore |url=https://rjdeependrahistory.news.blog/2020/09/21/nagnechiya-mata-nagana-history-kuldevi-of-rathore/ |access-date=2025-04-09 |website=Rj Deependra |language=en}}</ref><br />
