ABOUT
KALKAJI MANDIR Situated beyond the commercial complex of Nehru
Place lies Kalkaji temple dedicated to the Goddess Kalka Devi.
Kalkaji mandir is very famous and has numerous devotees
thronging it on many religious occasions, throughout the year.
Small red flags decorate the temple then, and women outnumber
men among the devotees. Folklore is replete with tales of the
Kalkaji temple, so much so that one does not know where legend
ends and history begins.
This is a very old temple and the oldest part was built up in
1764 A.D. The Kali Temple in Kalkaji boasts of an existence of
3,000 years, although the oldest surviving portion of it dates
to 1764-1771 when the Marathas were in power. Looking at the
present-day Kalkaji temple one may find it hard to believe
that this shrine to Kali is an antique one, where perhaps even
the Pandavs and Kauravs had worshiped during the reign of
Yudhisthir, whose citadel of Indraprastha had the fabled fairy
gates of which bards sang, much like Homer of old, right up to
the time of Prithviraj Chauhan.
The temple is situated on a hill and is dedicated to Kali.
There is a very distinctive feeling there and the devotees are
overwhelmed by light, which stay during the whole night. The
power of Ma Kali is ambiguous but powerful. Devotees also try
to meditate there and a spectacular tantric aarati is held at
about 7 pm. The temple is also quite near to the Bahai Temple,
which is just opposite on the other side of a big road. |
