Baba Kali Kamli Wale Ji Mandir

Baba Kali Kamli Wale Ji temple is dedicated to Hindu Goddess Kali. Built in the year 1837, this temple is a 'sidh peeth'. Sources say that at the same place, almost 200 years ago, Baba Kali Kamli Wale Ji undertook a rigorous penance to please Goddess Kali. Upon success, he asked for a wish and she agreed to 'reside' at that place for other devotees; hence the temple was constructed. The idol of Goddess is an Ashtadhatu (combination of eight metals), which was brought by artists to Kurukshetra from Kolkata. Deity stays behind a glass door that prevents disciples from touching her unnecessarily and put their offerings near the idol instead of designated area. Most of the temples have Goddess Kali in her aggressive form, but the idol in this temple depicts her calm mood. This temple has abundant positive energy. Even sitting inside for a couple of minutes can take a person to meditation mode. The structural design of the temple is very eye-catching. It's painted with red and beige colour and has four domes on the top, on all four corners. Two brass lions sit on both the entrance pillars and the third brass lion is parked above the entrance, in the middle.
The real name of Baba Kali Kamli Wale Ji is Swami Vishudhanand Ji, but he is prevalently known as Kali Kamli Wale Ji because he commonly used to wrap around a black coloured blanket. Kali translates to black and Kamli to the blanket.
