Chattarpur Temple

Chattarapur temple dedicated to Maa Kaatyayini is the second largest temple complex in India, the first being Aksharadhaam temple in Delhi.  The man behind the development of temple complex in Chattarpur village is Sant Nagpal.  Sant Nagpal, Durgacharananuragi Baba, was born in the state of 

Karnataka on Full moon day – Holi – on 10^th March, 1925.

 He visited all the pilgrim places in India, lived for many years in Kashmir before moving to Delhi and building Maa Durga Temple.  Later he moved to Chattarpur village and built Durga Ashram and other Temples.  He utilized 70 acres of land with bushes and shrubs to construct a beautiful temple complex.  The final picture of area we see now had taken about two and a half decades from mid seventies to early nineties.  He left his mortal body at mid-night 15-16^th December 1998.

 

The main deity at Chattarpur is Maa Kaatyayini.  There are many temples in the complex that extends on either side of wide road.  The temples are of Gods Laxmi Ganapathi, Hanuman, Shiva in Linga form, Parvati - Parameshwar, Ram – Laxman – Sita, Radha – Krishna, Yashoda – Krishna – Balaram, and Maa Kaatyayini holding Karthkeya.  Sant Nagpal Samadhi surrounded by Nag with Shiva Linga on top is also present.

The temple complex is well maintained.  The temple complex also has diagnostic centre, a school and other training institutes. 

Most of deities are made of marble and full of life and look magnificent.  There is also a dressing, dining and bedroom for Devi Maa. 

It takes a day to visit all the temples leisurely and feel divine vibrations.
