A
stone’s throw from Birla Mandir to the right is the much smaller
but quite popular temple devoted to the Goddess Kali. Especially dear
to the Bengali community of Delhi, Kali Bari Mandir in Delhi is the
centre of celebration during the festival of Durga Puja held every
October. Since Kali is believed to be the manifestation of Durga in
her most terrifying, warlike avatar, liquor is offered to the goddess
in this temple.
The Kali Bari Mandir is rather small and very simple in design. From
within the temple grows a huge peepul tree that pierces through the
ceiling to shade the temple. The peepul is considered sacred by Hindus
and red threads are tied around its bark when beseeching a boon.
