Kali Mata Temple Kalka

Dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Kali, Kali Mata Temple is located on the National Highway 22 that runs through Kalka town. It is very famous as hundreds of devotees pay their respect every year during the Navratri. It was assumed that the temple was made during Mahabharata by Pandvas, in the period of "Agyat Vas".

Kali is one of the many forms of Shakti. Maha Kaali is the fiercest of all goddesses of Hinduism. The word Kali has its roots in the Sanskrit word "Kaal", which means time. And nothing escapes from time. Goddess Kali is sometimes referred as the goddess of death. But actually Kali brings the death of the ego. Even in the scriptures, she has killed demons but not anyone else. Kali is also not associated with Yama (the Hindu God of Death). Kali is considered a form of mother too. Maa Kali is one of the few Goddesses who are celibate and practice renunciation.
