Tanot Mata Temple near Jaisalmer, close to the Longewala battlefield, stands as a symbol of faith and resilience. During the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars, the temple miraculously survived bombings, with unexploded bombs now displayed as testaments to divine protection. Maintained by the BSF, the temple is a revered site for soldiers. The temple is unique in many senses as it houses live bombs from the war. The border was attacked by tanks but they could not get in and went down in the sand. After winning the war, a Vijay Stambha or a Victory tower was built inside the temple. The bombs that did not explode were placed inside the temple. These heavy looking bombs are now put on display on shelves inside the temple covered by glass doors. The temple along with the war memorial museum are a part of Bharat Ranbhoomi Darshan initiative of the Indian Military. Legend has it that a man named Mamadji Charan has no kids. He decided to visit Hinglaj Mata on foot seven times to get a child. Soon after, the man was blessed with seven daughters and one son and one among them was Aavad Mata, also known as Tanot Mata.
