History & significance

Delhi's second-largest temple complex, founded in 1974 and spread over some 28 hectares with more than twenty shrines in three precincts. It draws its largest crowds during Navaratri.

Sthala katha — the legend

Devotees tie threads to an old tree near the entrance in the belief that wishes made there are granted.
