KunnijiShiv Mandir/Shri Gauri Shankar Mandir Delhi

There is an interesting story behind the construction of the Gauri-Shankar temple. Once, there was a fighter of the Maratha Clan, a devoted worshipper of Lord Shiva, who was grievously injured in a battle. He vowed that should he survive; he would make a beautiful temple of Gauri-Shankar. He survived against all odds and gradually became hale and hearty. To fulfil his promise, he constructed the temple. The building was later refurbished in the year 1959 by Seth Jaipuria. Although there are some idols of Hanuman and other Hindu gods present there, the temple is primarily known for Gauri and Shankar.
