Are you ready for a divine experience? Look no further than Mangaldham, the Hindu temple on Relli Road in Kalimpong, West Bengal. Built in memory of Guruji Shri Mangal Das Ji Maharaj, this temple is a true gem, with Lord Krishna as its principal deity.
But wait, it gets better. The temple complex boasts some seriously stunning embellished statues, lush gardens, and a vibrant sanctuary. You won’t want to miss strolling through the gardens and taking in all the beautiful flowers.
Mangaldham covers a massive area of over two acres, with multiple floors to explore. The ground floor is home to Guruji’s Samadhi, while the top floor houses the prayer hall with an idol of Raj Shyamaji and statues of the Revered Prannath ji and Shri Guru Mangaldasji. You’ll even get to see scenes from the Krishna Leela, like Nijanandacharya Shri Devchandraji meeting Lord Krishna and Prannath ji blessing Bundela Chhatrasal Maharaj.
But let’s not forget about the man who made all of this possible. In 1940, Guruji Shir Mangaldasji Maharaj arrived in Kalimpong and was so moved by the place that he decided to make it the site of his dreams. And what dreams they were! He dedicated himself to serving the people by building schools, orphanages, and temples.
It’s safe to say that Mangaldham is a fitting tribute to such a divine soul. Don’t miss out on this splendor of a temple – you’ll regret it if you do!
