This is one of the famous durga pujo in North Kolkata. The place , the ambience of old North Kolkata remembered something , feel something us. Every year they organised beautifully with new theme. Pandel is well decorated and pratima is also made by some fabulous artist.
I'm sharing Some photos of durga pujo of 2023.
Dakshineswar Kali Temple or Dakshineswar Kalibari is a another Hindu navaratna temple in Dakshineswar, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Situated on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River. The temple was built in 1855 by Rani Rashmoni, a Zamindar, philanthropist and a devotee of Kali Maa. The temple is known for its association with Ramakrishna Paramhansha dev and Ma Sarada Devi, mystics of 19th century Bengal.
The main temple was inspired by Navaratna style Radhakanta temple in Tollygunge, built by Babu Ramnath Mondal of Bawali Raj family . The temple compound, apart from the nine-spired main temple, contains a large courtyard surrounding the temple, with rooms along the boundary walls. There are twelve shrines dedicated to Shiva, Kali's consort, along the riverfront, a temple to Radha–Krishna, a bathing ghat on the river, a shrine dedicated to Rani Rashmoni. 'Nahabat', the chamber in the northwestern corner just beyond the last of the Shiva temples, is where Ramakrishna and Maa Sarada spent a considerable part of their lives.
