Kalkaji Mandir

Kalkaji Mandir is located at Kalkaji in South Delhi. Built on a hillock, this temple is dedicated to Goddess Kalka or Goddess Kali. This ancient temple is said to have been built in the year 1764. Numerous devotees throng Kalkaji mandir on many religious occasions throughout the year. Experts opine that this temple came into existence about 3,000 years back, although the oldest surviving portion dates to the Maratha period. A spectacular tantric aarti held at about seven in the evening holds the devotees spellbound.

Kalkaji Temple stands on a hill. The temple was built in the middle of 18th century and the oldest portion of the existing temple dates back to 1764. In the middle of the 19th century, Raja Kedarnath, Peshkar of Emperor Akbar II made certain changes and additions to the temple. It is believed that the original temple was used by the Pandavas and Kauravas to worship Goddess Kali.

Bathing Goddess Kali everyday with pure milk and other holy items and then draping her with a bright red brocade sari is a ritual here. A legend has it that a cow used to come here and discharged all her milk over the holy stone. Gradually when the cow's master, a farmer, understood what was happening, he erected a temple to honor the deity. Since then Kali is bathed with fresh and pure milk. The stone representing the Goddess Kali is housed in a twelve-sided building.
Anyone is interested in sharing there experience?

Thanks, Charandeep for sharing the post.
I have myself visited the Kalkaji Mandir a couple of times.The Mandir is famous throughout Delhi and NCR.There is a big Mela during Navratri and special arrangements are made to handle the huge rush of pilgrims.Like all famed Mata mandirs, it is compulsory to have darshan of Bhairon. A big Bhairon temple has come very near the Mandir, right on the main road and beside the IOC Petrol pump.
In fact, the nearby area, Kalkaji is named after Kalka Mata.
