Ghaghar Burhi temple, Hindu temple in Asansol, India.

Located on Kali Pahari near the Nunia river, the temple features a central shrine with silver-adorned Pindi form idol of Goddess Kali.

Established in 1620, the temple stands as the oldest religious structure in Asansol and contains additional shrines dedicated to Lord Rama, Sita, Hanuman, and Lakshman.

The temple walls display numerous carvings representing Bengali traditions, while regular worship ceremonies occur every Tuesday and Saturday throughout the year.

The temple organizes a major country fair on January 15th annually, with animal sacrifices performed as part of traditional religious ceremonies.

The temple origin stems from a story of a priest who found three stones in his lap after receiving instructions from a divine woman in his dream.
