Shitla Mandir is another significant fascination of Kathgodam. The sanctuary is committed to goddess Durga and the vibe at the spot is very heavenly.Travellers love to visit this spot with the readiness of an outing. Shitala (Sheetala), likewise called Sitala , is a Hindu goddess generally venerated in North India, West Bengal, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan as the pox-goddess.. She is the Goddess of sores, ghouls, pustules and diseases, acclaimed by Hindus. Shitala literally means one who cools in Sanskrit. Shitala is worshipped under different names all through the subcontinent. Shitala is more often called ma (‘mother’) and is worshiped by Hindus, Buddhists and tribal communities.

The goddess is referenced in Tantric and Puranic writing and her later appearance in vernacular writings, (for example, the Bengali seventeenth century Shitala-mangal-kabyas, 'promising verse') has added to fortify her status. Shitala is basically well known among the general population of North India. In certain customs she is related to a part of Parvati, the associate of Shiva. Shitala is tended to as Mother, as an occasional goddess (Vasant, for example Spring) and with honorific titles, for example, Thakurani, Jagrani (Queen of the World), Karunamayi (She who is loaded with benevolence), Mangala (The Auspicious One), Bhagavati (The Goddess), Dayamayi (She who is Full of Grace and Kindness).
