Maha Kali Mandir, Hindu temple near Majitha bypass in Amritsar, India.
Maha Kali Mandir is a Hindu temple near the Majitha bypass in Amritsar housing multiple shrines dedicated to deities such as Maha Kali, Durga, Radha Krishna, Shiva, and Ram's family. The complex spans the Jalandhar-Rajasansi road and provides visitors with several prayer areas and sacred spaces.
The temple was founded by Ramesh Chander Sharma and later transferred to the Mahakali Mandir Trust, which continues to fulfill its religious and social roles. This management by the trust has preserved the site as an important community institution.
The temple draws pilgrims especially during major Hindu festivals like Dussehra, Shivratri, and Diwali, when people gather to pray and worship together. These celebrations shape the religious life of the area and create moments where the community expresses shared faith.
The temple offers more than religious services: visitors find weekly eye checkups, a medical dispensary, and a sewing training program for girls on site. These facilities make the place a hub for community welfare throughout the year.
The temple contains Nav Grah Mandirs, small shrines for the nine planets important in Indian astrology. A notable reason to visit is a Shivling that appears to change color, making it one of the distinctive features found here.
