Dhakeshwari Mata Temple, Kumortuli, Hindu temple in Kumortuli, Kolkata, India
The temple features a 1.5-foot-tall statue of Devi Durga with ten arms, riding a lion and accompanied by Laxmi, Saraswati, Kartik, and Ganesh.
During the 1947 Partition of India, devotees transported the Devi Durga idol from Dhakeshwari Temple in Dhaka to Kolkata, establishing the new temple by 1950.
The temple follows Northern Indian Navratri rituals instead of traditional Bengali Durga Puja celebrations, maintaining distinct worship practices in Kolkata.
The Tiwari family from Azamgarh manages daily worship services at the temple, continuing their duty since the relocation from Dhaka.
Before constructing the current temple structure, the sacred idol resided in Debendranath Chowdhury's home for several years after its arrival from Bangladesh.
