|
|
To have the divine experience of Shri Aadi Shakti Maa Jhandewali's darshan,
devotees can plan visit to her famous temple , located in Delhi. The name Jhandewalan was given during
Shah Jahan's reign, due to the prayer flags or 'Jhandas' being offered. This
ancient temple has a subterranean shrine as well as one on the ground level.
Thousands of devotees converge for darshan or blessing, including the rich
and the famous especially during the Navratras in spring and autumn.
The upper level of the temple has divine idol of Mata Jhandewali. There are
idols of other Gods also at the same level. At the ground level , the
original idol of Jhandewali Mata is there. There is a history attached to
this idol. It is believed that Badri Bhagat, one of the great devotee of
matarani, dreamed of her and she told him about this idol. Thereafter the
temple was constructed at the same place.
There is a divine place for performing Shiv puja in the adjoining area at
the lower level itself.
The offering for the Goddess are easily available in the shops in the temple
vicinity. |
