Mama dev bhairavji is a historic temple site associated with the Kumbhalgarh Fort area in Rajasthan. The temple is located below Kumbhalgarh Fort and is closely connected with the history of Mewar and Rana Kumbha. According to India’s Ministry of Tourism, the temple was built by Rana Kumbha in 1460.
The temple is particularly important for its historical inscriptions. It originally contained stone slabs recording the genealogy and history of Mewar, extending from Guhil, regarded as the founder of the Mewar dynasty, to the reign of Rana Kumbha. These historic slabs are now preserved in the museum at Udaipur.
Mammadev Temple also has an image of Lord Kuber, traditionally associated with wealth, along with cenotaphs connected with Rana Kumbha and Prithviraj Chauhan. A large water reservoir or kund beside the temple adds to the historical character of the site.
