Siddheswari Kali Of Bagbazar

Exact date of foundation of this idol of goddess Kali is not known but it is one of the oldest kali temple of kolkata. It says, once upon a time, a monk, named Kalibar Tapaswi used to worship an idol of Siddheswari Kali under the shed of leaves of sedge (হোগলা).  

    Perhaps someone of Mitra family erected the temple at Madanmohan tala area and established the idol there. Despite this Kali
puja of Kartick Amabasya, ফুলদোল of Buddha Purnima and Falharini (ফলহারিণী) Kali puja of the month of Jaisthya are the big festivals of
this temple.
