Kali Temple

Loading photo...

The Kali Temple is situated on the banks of Hoogly where the Kali Ghat has been constructed in order to provide facility for the worshippers to cleanse themselves with the waters of Holy Ganges. The Ghat with numerous steps and special platforms for washing feet and taking bath is abounding with crowd everyday at all the times.

The Ghat is laced with shops and mini vendors selling their wares which are mostly religious symbols and icons. A word of caution though; bewares of the touts who promise early darshan upon small payment and later fleece gullible crowds. Darshan through regular lines is the best and peaceful option. Further the nearby red light area activities sometimes spill over to the temple zone and it is better if the darshan and visit are completed by 2100hr.
