Ancient Kali temple in South Delhi that gave the Kalkaji neighbourhood its name. It is a major pilgrimage site during Navratri.
The temple is dedicated to Kali, and local legend says the goddess appeared at this spot. The oldest parts of the present structure are believed to date from the Maratha period, after 1764, with additions in 1816 by a courtier of Akbar II. Navratri, held twice a year, brings a large fair and huge crowds. It is a short walk from the Lotus Temple.
