==History==<br />
Ratneshwar Temple, located on Kanyachal Mountain in Jalore, Rajasthan, is a significant site of the Nath sect. It is associated with Yogi Jalandharnath, a revered saint who is believed to have performed penance in the nearby Bhanwar Cave. Impressed by his miracles, King Ratan Singh of Jalore accepted him as his spiritual guru and built a Shiva temple in Vikram Samvat 1708 (1651 AD), now known as Ratneshwar Temple.<br />
<br />
In 1803 AD, Man Singh, fleeing an assassination attempt by his brother Bhim Singh of Marwar, took refuge in Jalore Fort. As the fort was besieged, Yogi Ayas Devnath of the Nath sect conveyed a prophetic message that Man Singh would become the ruler if he held out until Kartik Sudi 6. Man Singh followed this advice, and coincidentally, Bhim Singh and his commander died shortly after. Man Singh was crowned the ruler of Jodhpur.<br />
<br />
In gratitude, he renovated the Mahamandir in Jodhpur, Ratneshwar Temple, and the Nath ashram at Kanyachal, as well as Jalore Fort, honoring the Nath sect’s role in his rise to power.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-12 |title=Shri Sire Mandir, Jalore Rajasthan - MyAdhyatm |url=https://myadhyatm.com/shri-sire-mandir-jalore-rajasthan/ |access-date=2025-04-12 |language=en-US}}</ref><br />
