Dev Mogra (also devmogra or kunti mata) is a figure in Hindu mythology, a goddess for the Satpuda mountain people.

There is a temple to this goddess on a mountain near the city of Rajpipla in the state of Gujarat, India. The temple was said to have been created seven generations back when the then high-priest saw a vision of Dev Mogra.

There is an annual festival at the temple from February to March where an estimated 5 to 7 lakh (500,000 to 700,000) people attend.

Legend

One myth about this goddess was that she was a beautiful princess. Many princes and maharaja want to marry her. She had one sister name Pandori Mata. Because dev mogara mata is very beautiful, no one is ready to marry her sister. Mogara decided to go to the jungle and live there.

Another was that she came to that jungle when pandava passed through Vanavas.
