Joy Kali Temple, Hindu temple in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The temple complex contains two distinct shrines: one dedicated to Goddess Kali and another to Lord Shiva with a visible plaster dome.

Founded in Bengali year 1001 during the Nawab period, Dewan Tulsi Narayan Ghosh and Nabh Narayan Ghosh established this temple under Bancharam Saint's guidance.

Hindu devotees gather at the temple for regular worship, contributing funds for special occasions when prasad sweets are distributed among attendees.

Visitors can reach the temple from Sayedabad or Gulistan bus stops, with rickshaws and auto-rickshaws readily available for the final stretch.

The temple entrance features a stainless steel Om symbol, while a ceremonial bell hangs near the Kali statue for devotees to ring upon entry and exit.
