Siddheshwari Kali temple

The Siddheshwari Kali temple stands with a distinctive Jor-bangla architectural design, featuring twin-sloped roofs and traditional Bengali craftsmanship throughout its structure.

The temple was constructed around 1740 during the period of Chitrasen, a landlord of Bardhaman, marking a significant point in regional religious architecture.

Regular religious ceremonies occur at the temple, with devotees performing rituals to goddess Kali through offerings of flowers, incense, and traditional Bengali prayers.

Located near the banks of the Bhagirathi River, the temple remains open daily from sunrise to sunset, with increased visitor numbers during religious festivals.

The temple contains a wooden statue of goddess Kali in a standing position, distinguishing it from typical stone or metal deities found in other regional temples.
