Cyle ride to Malayi Mandir, Delhi

Dear Friends,

Today I had no plan for ride , so I decided to ride up to Malayi Mandir. This place was related to my past. I use to live near this temple when I was doing MBA. I use to visit this place when ever I feel low.

I wanted to visit this place since long but after living in Gurgaon, it become a bit difficult to find time to visit this place, as it is around 32km from my place.

About temple :

The temple complex reverentially named as "Malai Mandir" is a harmoniously blended Tamil Word "Malai" (Mountain/Hill) with the Hindi word "Mandir" {Temple}by the people of Delhi. This temple reflects the glory and grandeur of South Indian Temple Architecture at its best. . 


The temple complex of the Presiding Deity was consecrated and the Maha Kumbhabhishekam was performed on the 7th of June, 1973. The temple of Sree Karpaga Vinayakar, Sree Sundareswarar and Devi Meenakshi were consecrated and the Maha Kumbhabhishekam performed on the 13th June 1990.

Best part of this ride : As I reached to the temple, security stopped me to enter in to the temple as I was wearing cycling short and short is not allowed in the temple. Which I was not knowing. I felt very bad that I ride around 32 km and need to cover another 32km to go back home and after making so much effort I will not be able to go inside the temple. I waited their for a which then only another guard who understood my situation offered me a dhoti (Piece of cloth). He suggested me, by wearing this dhoti I can enter into the temple. I became very happy with the solution and thanked to the God to finding a solution for me.
