About this audio guide
This guide to Shri Aadya Katyayani Shakti Peeth in Delhi opens at a cremation fire in Karnataka, where a grieving, freshly orphaned boy named Nagpal was led by a stranger to a temple of the Divine Mother. It follows him north to Delhi and the seventy-acre marble complex of shrines to Goddess Katyayani he built here in 1974, and describes the innermost sanctum that opens only during Navratri. Listen for how a childhood encounter became a lifetime's work.
