The best time to visit this 800 year old temple in Chandni Chowk is Shivratri or Diwali when the exotic flower decorations that take the place in the form of fancy garlands outside the temple, find their way in. Both the entrance as well as the sanctum sanctorum of the temple are decorated with exquisite flowers and it is a riot of colour, a display of unique craftsmanship and human imagination. The Gauri Shankar Temple is one of the most important temples for Shaivites and houses an 800-year-old lingam. It falls next to the Digambar Jain temple, another must visit and the Gurudwara Sis Ganj. All three are different experiences in themselves, one austere, the other riotous and more colourful.
