Near Nai Sarak in ShahJahanabad I came upon this charming Shri ChitrGupt Mandir with a mix of Urdu, Farsi and English inscriptions.

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۔

Munshi Bishamber Dayal peshkar khalf ( successor/son of) Munshi Bhawani Parshad

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 to Abu Sufiyan who took me there.

We had gone ag a time Darshan was closed.
