Jeshorehwari Kali Temple, Hindu temple in Ishwaripur, Satkhira District, Bangladesh

The temple houses a black stone statue of goddess Kali, with only the face visible while the rest remains covered in velvet cloth.

The temple dates back to the 8th century and gained prominence when King Lakshman Sen renovated it and built a triangular shrine for Chanda Bhairav.

The site represents one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, where devotees believe the palm of goddess Sati fell during her celestial dispersion.

Every year during Durga Puja and Navaratri, thousands of pilgrims from Bangladesh and neighboring countries gather at the temple for religious ceremonies.

In March 2021, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a golden crown for the deity during his visit to Bangladesh.
