Sacred Story and Legend
Baba Nagpal Ji’s life story in trust tradition emphasises orphanhood, pilgrimage, devotional discipline, service and the transformation of a once-barren Satbari site.

History and Timeline
1974
Sant Baba Nagpal Ji founded the Shree Adya Katyayani Shaktipeeth at Satbari.
Campus growth
The site expanded into a roughly 70-acre complex with more than twenty shrines, halls, gardens and service facilities.
15–16 December 1998
The founder’s final days and passing are remembered by the trust; his Samadhi remains within the complex.
Continuing service
Langar, medical charity, disaster relief, defence support and inter-religious goodwill form part of the institution’s public-service history.
Architecture and Temple Layout
Marble and sandstone
White marble and sandstone unify the extensive campus.
Multiple temple idioms
Nagara and Dravidian/Chola elements, gopurams, Vesara influences and intricate jaali work appear across different shrines.
Large gathering halls
The source records a roughly 1,000-person satsang hall and a langar hall able to serve around 4,000 people at once.
Campus landmarks
Markandeya Mandapam, Baba’s Samadhi, gardens, subway access, a large trishul and an approximately 3,000-kg bell shape the visitor route.
Spiritual Importance
Maa Katyayani represents Shakti, while Sankatmochan Hanuman represents protection, humble service and unwavering Rama bhakti.
The campus combines personal worship with satsang, free meals and charitable service. Claimed personal outcomes remain matters of devotion.
Special Features and Facts
Two Hanuman experiences
The inner standing shrine and the separate 101-foot outdoor image should be understood as distinct features in the same campus.
Multi-shrine Shaktipeeth
The Hanuman Mandir sits within a much larger sacred landscape rather than operating as a standalone roadside temple.
Baba Nagpal Ji Samadhi
The founder’s Samadhi beneath a Shivlinga remains a central campus stop.
