Dakshin Delhi Kalibari Temple

The Hindu temple, unlike structures in other religions, has not seen significant evolution in the past century or so. An opportunity to explore the form of the temple came in the year 1986 in the design commission of a temple for the Bengali community in South Delhi. The architects had been initially asked to replicate the Dakshineshwar temple on the banks of the Ganges in Kolkata. To this request, we responded, "give us the Ganges and we will give you Dakshineshwar".
