Kalighat Kali Temple

The fact that the Kalighat Kali Temple is nearly two centuries old may be of interest to you. Surprisingly, the temple has a unique image of Kali that is unlike most Kali images in Bengal. The Kalighat Kali Temple is a popular tourist destination in Kolkata and is one of India's 52 Shakti Peethas.

Religious explorers will be pleased to learn that the temple is said to be the location where Sati's right foot toes fell. Only the deity's face was built during the first phase of construction. The remaining parts of Kali, such as her hands, tongue, and jewelry, were later made out of gold and silver.
