Nili Chhatri

India

Nili Chhatri Temple is an ancient Hindu temple in Old Delhi, India dedicated to Shiva. It is believed that the eldest Pandava brother, Prince Yudhishthira of Mahabharata, established the temple and the Nigambodh Ghat adjacent to it, and conducted Aswamedha Yajna from here. The temple located in the Yamuna bazaar area close to the Baharadur Shahi Gate of Salimgarh Fort, on Ring Road close to the banks of the Yamuna river exists even today. The temple has been mentioned only infrequently in various chronicles of Delhi.[1]
