How to Reach KALIGHAT MANDIR when in KOLKATA

West Bengal has been the land of the divine goddess KALI since time immemorial. People from far reaching places come here to visit the temple to get blessed from the goddess.

Kalighat is located in the city of Calcutta on the banks of the river Hooghly (Bhagirathi). The name Calcutta is said to have been derived from the word Kalighat.


Sometimes it can be quite tedious to reach the place, if you are placed in some other part of the city.


How to reach Kalighat Temple:


The Route :
