Chhatarpur is an urban neighbourhood located in the South Delhi district, situated near the Aravalli biodiversity ridge between Mehrauli and Vasant Kunj. Historically a rural village settled by the Tanwar Gurjar community, it has evolved into a bustling commercial and spiritual node in modern Delhi. The area sits along the Anuvrat Marg artery and is served directly by the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro.
The area is nationally famous for the Chhatarpur Temple complex dedicated to Goddess Katyayani, which spans over 70 acres of marble architecture and shrines. Beyond its spiritual draw, Chhatarpur is widely known for hosting extensive farmhouses along Bhati Mines road and MG Road, serving as major venues for Delhi event culture while remaining adjacent to conserved forest tracts like Sanjay Van.
