Bargabhima temple, Ancient Hindu temple in Tamluk, India.

The Bargabhima Temple features a large courtyard and inner sanctum housing a black stone idol of Goddess Kali beside a Shiva Linga.

The temple structure dates back 1150 years, constructed by the Maharaja of Mayor dynasty, though rebuilt following the Islamic occupation of Bengal.

The temple stands as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, marking the location where the left ankle of goddess Sati fell according to Hindu mythology.

Located 87 kilometers from Kolkata, the temple remains open daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM with access through National Highway 6 and railway connections.

The temple accepts non-vegetarian offerings, particularly cooked Snakehead murrel fish, as part of the daily prasad prepared for Devi Bargabhima.
