Baleshwari Devi, New Delhi
 

This is a temple to the Hindu Goddess Durga or Vaishno Devi / Baleshvari Devi, located at Paschim Puri Pocket 3, First Park, New Delhi 110063.

The temple was created by small children to worship the Hindu Goddess Vaishno Devi and therefore it is named Shree Baleshwari Devi temple. (Bal - child). On a chaitra Navaratri day, the children forgot to light her jot (lamp).  The Goddess appeared in the dream of a girl and asked why her lamp had not been lit.
 
The young girl got frightened and she told everyone about her dream.  All the devotees gathered to light her jot everyday. One Tuesday, a statue of lord Hanuman appeared miraculously from a neem tree.

There is a pind of "Baba Bharav Nath", a Shiva temple and on the side there is a small pind of "Mata Sheetala Devi" on a tree of berries. All these pinds also appeared at the temple miraculously.
