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

The temple occupies 2.22 acres of land at the southern edge of Suhrawardy Udyan park, featuring a 97-foot-high central spire and surrounding gardens.

The original temple was established in the 16th century by followers of Shankaracharya, with Gopal Giri constructing an initial monastery and Haricharan Giri building the main shrine.

Devotees gather for major Hindu festivals throughout the year, with Kali Puja celebrations involving elaborate decorations and ceremonies dedicated to Goddess Bhadrakali.

The temple complex includes prayer halls, meditation spaces, accommodation quarters for priests, and a large pond that serves religious and recreational purposes.

Pakistani forces destroyed the temple on March 27, 1971, killing 100 residents, but it was reconstructed with Indian government funding to preserve its Bengal architectural style.
