Chatteshwari Temple, Hindu temple in Chattogram District, Bangladesh.
Chatteshwari Temple is a Hindu shrine in Chattogram city with multiple chambers and a central sanctum devoted to Goddess Kali. The structure is adorned with stone sculptures depicting scenes from Hindu mythology throughout its interior spaces.
The temple was originally built with a wooden idol of Goddess Kali carved from neem wood, passed down through generations of worshippers. During the 1971 war, the structure sustained damage, but the upper portion of the original statue was preserved and remains visible today.
This site holds deep spiritual meaning for local Hindu worshippers who visit regularly to make offerings and pray to Goddess Kali. Pilgrims regard it as one of the most sacred Shakti Peetha locations, making it an important destination for devotional practices throughout the year.
The temple is located in central Chattogram and is easily accessible by local public transportation. The best times to visit are early morning or evening during prayer hours, when the space feels quieter and more focused.
The shrine houses two distinct representations of the goddess: the damaged original neem wood piece and a newer statue later created by artisans in Benares. This combination shows how the shrine dealt with loss and restoration over time.
