Jalandhar, previously known as Jullundur, is an ancient city of Punjab. It has its existence before the time of Mahabharata. In times of the Mahabharata war, it was the capital of `Trigarttas`, meaning `land between three rivers`.

This old city is the house of another old temple known by the name of Devi Talab Mandir. It is exactly located in the heart of Jalandhar and is entirely dedicated to Goddess Durga. The Devi Talab Mandir has now been renovated and a new temple has been built in its center. Another interesting feature of this temple is that recently a model of Amarnath Yatra has been built in the premises.

Another importance of the place is for the old temple of Goddess Kali, which stands by the side of this temple. It is one of the fifty-one `Shakti Peethas` and here the Goddess Kali is known by the name of Tripurmalini. It is believed that Sati`s right breast fell here. Lord Shiva in this temple is known as Bhishan Bhairav.
