The [[chamunda]] Mataji was Rao Jodha's favourite goddess, he brought her idol from the old capital of Mandore in 1460 and installed her in Mehrangarh (Maa chamunda was the ''kul devi'' of the [[Pratiharas of Mandavyapura|Pratihara rulers of Mandore]]). She remains the Maharaja's and the Royal Family's Isht Devi or adopted goddess and is worshipped by most of Jodhpur's citizens as well. Crowds throng Mehrangarh during the [[Vijayadashami|Dussehra]] celebrations. | The [[chamunda]] Mataji was Rao Jodha's favourite goddess, he brought her idol from the old capital of Mandore in 1460 and installed her in Mehrangarh (Maa chamunda was the ''kul devi'' of the [[Pratiharas of Mandavyapura|Pratihara rulers of Mandore]]).
