Historic Place, Religious Sight

Nestled in Chhatarpur, on the southwestern edge of New Delhi, the Shri Aadya Katyayani Shakti Peeth is a monumental temple complex that radiates devotion and architectural splendor. Built in 1974 by Baba Sant Nagpal Ji, the temple honors Goddess Katyayani, one of the six forms of Maa Durga. Its vast marble courtyards, intricately carved jali facades, and towering spires create an atmosphere of awe and reverence. Visitors are struck by the scale of the complex, which ranks as Delhi’s second-largest temple after Akshardham. The temple’s Vesara-style design, with its blend of northern and southern Indian architectural elements, makes it unique among Delhi’s sacred sites.
