  Kalka or Kalkaji Mandir is amongst the oldest and the most revered temples of India.The temple is dedicated to the goddess Kalka or Kali, an incarnation of Durga . It is also called Jayanti Peetha or Manokamna Siddha Peetha. "Manokamna" literally means desire, "siddha" means fulfillment, and "peetha" means shrine. So, it is believed to be the holy shrine where one gets the blessings of Maa Kalika Devi (Goddess or Mother Kalika) for the fulfillment of one's desires. The temple complex is situated on the Delhi Metro between the Nehru place bus terminus and business center and Okhla  railway station and industrial area, and is right beside the Lotus temple . Close to the temple, on a hill in the east of Kailash neighbourhood and near the ISKCON temple, lies an  edict ofAshoka dating from the 3rd century BC.
