Shri Kalki Dham Temple

February 22, 2024

Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of the Shri Kalki Dham Temple in Sambhal district, Uttar Pradesh.
The Shri Kalki Dham Temple is being constructed by the Shri Kalki Dham Nirman Trust.
- It will also have 10 sanctums, each to house the deities of the 10 incarnations of Vishnu.
According to Garuda Puran, both Ram and Krishna are avatars (reincarnations) of Vishnu, in the Treta and the Dwapar yugas.
Like Lord Ram was the seventh incarnation of Vishnu in treta yug, Kalki would be the tenth and the final one to arrive, riding a horse at the end of the Kaliyuga.
Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh is significant because, according to Hindu beliefs, Kalki, Vishnu’s avatar of Kaliyuga, will appear here.
Hindu mythology says the descent of Kalki will end the dark, degenerating and chaotic kaliyuga and usher the next, Satya Yuga.
Sambhal had a centuries-old temple dedicated to Kalki, which was allegedly destroyed on the orders of Babur in the 16^th
