Ramna Kali Temple, Hindu temple in Ramna district, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Ramna Kali Temple stands on the south side of Ramna Park, opposite the Bangla Academy, beside the former Dhaka Racecourse that is now Suhrawardy Udyan. Its flat violet, white, pink and orange facade carries three scalloped spires, the centre one highest, rows of small arched niches above, and a blue banner in Bengali script over a gateway of one pointed and two smaller arches. The complex covers about 2.25 acres and holds the Ma Anandamoyee Ashram, the Ma Durga Mandir and the Radha Krisna Mandir.

The temple was originally built during the Mughal Empire and stood for centuries; Nepalese folklore holds that devotees of Kali came from the Himalayas to found it. It was largely developed in the early 20th century under Rani Bilashmoni Debi, wife of Rajendra Narayan, when its peak reached 120 feet. On 27 March 1971 the Pakistani Army destroyed it and killed more than 100 people in the complex. A small temple was set up after independence, and the reconstructed complex was inaugurated by Indian President Ram Nath Kovind on 17 December 2021.

The temple is dedicated to Kali, not Bhadrakali. Its name appears in the blue banner over the entrance, which also names the Ma Anandamoyee Ashram and gives the address at 9-10 Purbani Mymensingh Road, Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue, Shahbagh. Nepalese folklore holds that devotees of Kali came from the Himalayas to found it.

The temple grounds are open for daytime visits with several areas to explore, from the prayer halls to the pond area. Visitors should dress modestly and show respect for the religious practices taking place on the site.

The temple's design survives in photographs taken at Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's 7 March 1971 address, likely the last images of it before its destruction. A preliminary report put the old peak at 120 feet, probably the tallest building in the region in the early 20th century.
