Rao Bika Ji (the founder and ruler of Bikaner between 1472-1504 A.D.) belonged to the royal family of Jodhpur. When he left Jodhpur to establish Bikaner, he brought with him 14 royal and sacred idols one of which was of Nagnechi Mata. So this Temple was built in the 16th Century A.D. by Rao Rai Singh (a ruler of Bikaner between 1574-1612 A.D.) to install the idol of the Goddess.
