๐ The Story of Maa Kali Temple ๐
According to legend, when Sati Deviโs body was dismembered by Lord Vishnuโs Sudarshan Chakra to pacify Lord Shiva, her right toe fell at Kalighat, making it a revered Shakti Peetha. Over centuries, the temple evolved into one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for Devi worshippers. The idol of Maa Kali here is unlike any other โ with a protruding golden tongue, three large eyes, and four hands, she stands on Lord Shiva, symbolizing power and surrender. ๐
The current temple structure was built in the 19th century by the Sabarna Roy Choudhury family, though the site has been sacred since ancient times.
