context_page_description: Dev Dham Jodhpuriya is a temple dedicated to lord Devnarayan situated in Newai municipality of Tonk district, Rajasthan, 75 kilometres from Jaipur on the Jaipur-Kota national highway, near to Mashi dam, Manoharpura in Newai municipality of Tonk district.
  Devnarayan is worshiped as an incarnation of Vishnu. Tradition is that he was incarnated in Vikram Samvat 968 as a son of a warrior, Sawai Bhoj Bagaravat, and Saadu Maata Gurjari.
context_section_description: Aarati (major worship) of Devnarayan takes place three times daily, at 4 am,  11 am and 7 pm. Friday is the day when devotees from distant villages and cities come to visit the temple.
  Night vigils (jaagirn) are organised by many devotees, especially on Fridays and almost daily in the summer season.
  The following quote can be observed on every image of Devnarayan:
  "Samvat 968 ke aansh, janam liya Gurjar ke vansh
  
  Sadhu sati ke vachno dwara,kamal phool Dev liya avatar."
  This can be translated as saying that he was incarnated in the Gurjar dynasty in Vikram Samvat 968 (911 A.D.) to fulfill the promise he gave to Saadu Maata Gurjari.
