This temple was established by Baba Sant Nagpal jii , in 1974.
This temple was considered to be the first largest temple in delhi and second largest temple in the world before the establishment of Akshardham Temple ,New Delhi in 2005.
The main dynasty of this temple is Ma Katyayani. 🌸🙏 There once was a great sage named Katyayan.He was one among the many, ardent devotees of Goddess Durga. One day, he performed many austere penances so that he can have the Supreme Goddess herself as his daughter if she is pleased.
Upon being pleased with his dedication towards her, goddess Durga appeared before him and assured him that she will surely reincarnate in the world again as his daughter. True to the word of the great Goddess, she reincarnated as his daughter, whose name was Katyayani (the daughter of Katyayan). On the other hand , Mahishasur had cruel and inhuman intension. He performed harsh and severe penances to appease Lord Brahma . He God the Boon ( vardan )that No Man in this earth will ever be able to kill him. Mahishasur's reign of terror and torture spread to the three worlds.
Knowing about katyayani Lord Bramha, vishnu and mahesh went to the aashram. Daw that she is the most powerful, who is Mahashakti herself, the Gods offered to her their powers and their weapons as worship.
She was given a trident, lotus, mace, sword, shield, bell, bow, arrow, battle-axe and a lasso for each of her hands. Seeing his daughter, representing the Supreme Goddess armed and empowered, Katyayan and the Gods sang hymns in praise of Katyayani before she set out to kill Mahishasur.
On her way, she began to roar viciously, causing the earth to shudder terribly, clouds striking lightning that caused storms and forest fires. Mahishasur understood that his time of death had come and gathered all his demon armies to fight the great Goddess. Encountering Mahishasura and his armies, embodied with violent rage, Katyayani ruthlessly slew all of them wherever she went in the battlefield, causing a massive bloodbath. Finally, the goddess killed Mahishasur by the three sharp prongs of her trident, liberating the Gods and inhabitants of earth from his reign of fear and terror, thus earning her the name "Mahishasura Mardini" (the killer of Mahishasura).❤️
This Temple is constructed from marble and there is perforated stone or latticed screen work.
There are thousands of devotees who visit here during Navratri. The temple of Godess katyayani is open only during Navratra's.
