This temple is considered to be the oldest Shiva-Parvati temple in Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad.
The temple's main worshiping Mata Gauri and the small Deity of Bhagwan Shiva is going to attract devotees. His big eyes cast spells on him. Maha Shivaratri festival is the biggest festival of the temple, under which the procession of Bhagwan Shiva is done with great pomp and show on the Chandni Chowk road from the temple.
Legend has that the Gauri Shankar Temple was constructed by Apa Ganga Dhar who was a Maratha Soldier and an avid devotee of Lord Shiva. He was once severely injured in a battle and chances of his survival was minimal, in fact, it was none whatsoever and he prayed to Lord Shiva requesting that his life be spared and should his wish be granted, he would construct a beautiful temple in the name of Lord Shiva. Despite the odds, Apa Ganga Dhar survived and later went on to build this beautiful ancient temple that has miraculously survived the test of times over these eight centuries.
