On the entrance it says

‏دروازہ مندر سری چتر گپت جی۔ مہاراج

Darwaza Mandir Shri ChitrGupt hi Maharaj

‏منشی بشمبر دیال پیشکار خلف منشی بھوانی پرساد۔

On top of Donor ‘s List

Waqt guzraan Meher guzar jaata hai

Insaan aata hai aake Mar jaata hai

Hai zinda javed wahi nek anjam

Jo aaun ke kuchh kaam bhi kar jaata hai

Suraj Narayan Meher Dehalvi

The area belonged to Mathurs who have now shifted from there according other parts of Delhi
