The final temple making a trio of temples surrounding the Lotus Temple is the Hindu Kalkaji Mandir. It’s not a big tourist attraction, and mostly (at least when I was there) it’s a temple where locals go. The temple is dedicated to the Goddess Kali and is the site of many rituals that include singing and chanting.
When I was there, it looked like a number of babies were being dedicated. Not wanting to leave my shoes somewhere unattended, I stuck them in a plastic bag and carried them around with me, and nobody bothered me like at some other temples such as the Kalighat temple in Kolkata.
How to get there: Take the Metro to Kalkaji Mandir station and it’s just a 5-minute walk from there, it’s right across the street from the entrance gate to the Lotus Temple.
