The Siddheshwar Temple in Delhi NCR is a beautiful, newly constructed temple where marble is lavishly used to create ornate, eye-catching designs that I have previously seen only in medieval temples.
The entrance is on a busy street but once inside there is ample space for 2-wheeler parking. The temple is covered but spread out in the open and the absence of a typical narrow entrance makes the ambiance much more enjoyable and peaceful as there is no rush and no lines to get inside for Darshan.
On the left side in the open space is a very old and huge Banayan tree under which a Sadhu monk setup the original small temple. The current structure was built recently thanks to generous donations from the residents and the temple trustees. Note the Para platform around the trunk of the Banyan tree that looks beautiful.
On the extreme left is the Khatu Sham Krishna temple.
The next one is the Mata Rani temple. Note the amazingly-beautiful carved marble door frame in each temple.
This is the Laxmi-Narayan temple and both idols are in marble.
Radha-Krishna temple again in marble and I marveled at the exotic dressing.
Lord Hanuman Ji is also again dressed beautifully and also note on both sides the 7 Swastiks that is the symbol of prosperity and good fortune.
The main deity of the temple is Lord Siddheswar with his son Lord Ganesh both on the Mahirap or top portion of the door frame and also near the Shivling. Also, there are Dwarpal gatekeepers on both sides of the marble entrance.
At the base of the entrance of each temple are Kichaks or Sharduls who take away your negative energy and also there are Shankh Conch Shells that provide you positive energy. This is rare since I have only one of these pairs in most temples. As a devotee and visitor to the temple, I stood in the middle portion to take the benefits of both features.
Also near the exit is the temple of the Navagrah nine planets and in the middle is the Surya Dev Sun God revealing that nine planets were always known to Indians since ancient times and also the fact that they all revolve around the Sun.
Outside the temple is the Hom-Havan Kund and also the Shikhar peak of the Garbhgruh hall of the temple is decorated ornately in red sandstone. The entire temple complex is mesmerizingly beautiful with lots of peace and positive vibes.
People in Gurugram always are found wearing a sad and serious look on their faces and this is more evident in a temple than anywhere else. Whereas I always feel happy and visit a temple with a sense of gratitude to thank the Lord for all the happiness and good things in my life, most people out here in Gurugram and elsewhere reach the temple with complaints about the problems in life and the worst part is they insist others to also show a saddened and serious face when around in the temple.
For what purpose do you visit a temple or a place of worship? how do you feel when you visit such a place? I’d love to hear about your experiences.
Until then… Happy guiding ![]()
