All about Shila Devi Temple Amer, Jaipur

Then Bengal ruler gave this black statue of “Kali Maa” as a gift to Maharaja Sawai Man Singh.

Found In Sea
Some sources are saying that Maharaja Sawai Man Singh found this black stone in the sea. It was floating(as we know that stone typically never flows in water).
