Chhatarpur Temple

Mahashivratri is celebrated every year in the temple on the 14th day of the Hindu month of Fagun (February-March). According to Hindu mythology, this day is the marriage day of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvathi.

The celebrations start with Kumbhabhishek i.e. holy bath of Maa Katyayani a few days before the start of the Navratras as per tradition started by Babaji. This is followed by Delhi Darshan when offerings consisting of lehngas/sarees, chunnis, fruits, sweets, garlands and cash are sent to 41 temples, dargahs etc in the city. The Chattarpur Temple remains crowded during most days of the year, but exceptional crowd of devotees would be seen during Durga Puja and Navaratri. Moreover, during Navratris as many as 10 million people or more reach here from far and wide with great devotion to take a glimpse of the deity, to pray, and to fulfill their wishes. This is the time of the year when special bus services are provided to the devotees to make it easy for them to reach Chattarpur Temple
