Why devotees come here

The Shri Kalki Dham is being built in Sambhal district, Uttar Pradesh. Sambhal is believed to be the birthplace of Kalki, the tenth and last incarnation of Vishnu. The temple is named after him, and Prime Minister Modi laid its foundation stone on a Monday.

Sambhal is identified as Shambhala, the village that the Mahabharata and the Hindu Puranas name as the birthplace of Kalki, the tenth and last incarnation of Vishnu. Legend says he will take birth here to end the evils of Kalyuga and bring deliverance. He is pictured on a white horse, with a sword raised in the air.

A Kalki temple in Sambhal is believed to have been built in the 18th century by Ahilyabai Holkar, the Maratha ruler of Malwa. The Sambhal district website also lists the Kalki Vishnu Mandir. Its entrance sign reads “Pracheen Sri Kalki Vishnu Mandir”, which means the ancient Vishnu temple. The new Shri Kalki Dham is being constructed by the Shri Kalki Dham Nirman Trust. India Today reported the foundation stone laying.

Sambhal is a city in the Rohilkhand region, in the Moradabad division of Uttar Pradesh. The town also has the Babur mosque and the Kalki Mandir in Kot Purvi Mohalla.

Tips for your visit

  • The new temple will have 10 sanctums, each to house the deities of the 10 incarnations of Vishnu.
  • The Babur mosque and the Kalki Mandir in Kot Purvi Mohalla are about 20 km from the new temple, so plan them as a separate visit.
