| Located on the main Guragon-Mehrauli Road, about
4-kilometers away from Qutab Minar Complex, the sacred Chhatarpur
Temple is one of the largest and most popular Hindu temples
of the capital. Completely built with white marble and richly
crafted, the temple complex has many temples dedicated to different
deities like Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha and Lord Rama. However,
the main presiding deity of the whole temple complex is Goddess
Durga. Thus the Chhatarpur Temple becomes the center of attraction
of the capital during the festival of Navratri when thousands
of devotees throng the temple complex. |
|
| uilt in the south Indian style, the temple complex
is spread over a large area with beautiful manicured lawns and
gardens. The whole ambience of the temple complex is very religious
as discourses and prayers are held round the clock. The other
attraction of the temple is a tree tied with many threads and
appears as if decorated with colorful bangles. It is believed
that tying a thread or bangle on the tree leads to the fulfillment
of the devotees wishes. |
| Don't forget to remove your shoes outside the
temple and wash your hands and feet before entering the temple. |
