Kali represents the destructive side of Siva’s consort and demands daily sacrifices. In the morning goats have their throats slit here to satisfy the goddess’ bloodlust. During the day many poor people come here for a free feed. This is an extremely busy temple.
Temple was rebuilt in 1809 on the site of a much older temple. Kalighat ( as it is also known ) is the actual temple from which Kalikata takes its name. According to legend, when Siva’s wife’s corpse was cut up, one of her fingers fell here. Since then it has been an important pilgrimage site.
