History: In the year 1760AD on a new moon night of autumn the sacred premises of Sri Sri Karunamoyee Kali Temple were lit up by the lamps of her first Diwali.

Almost 190 years prior to that, the wicks of those lamps had been twisted round when the history began its course of journey. In the 10 th century AD the Lord of Bengal, Maharaja Adisur invited five Brahmans from faraway Kanyakuvja (Kanauj) to perform Yajna (Vedic Sacrifice). Among those five Brahmans, all learned scholars and conversant with the Vedas and scriptures, Vedagarbha was one who belonged to the Sabarna clan disciples of the great sage Sabarna, the son of the Sun God. Vedagarbha had fathered twelve son disciples in Bengal. Among them, the Hal was the luckiest to obtain for himself a village called “Gango” and, in this way, his generation earned the title “Gangopadhyay” or “Ganguly”. Kamdev Gangopadhyay was the fourteenth man of this generation

Good place and also very peaceful area.
Available sweet shop near by, flower market also available. Main thing is it is on the main road. But parking facility is not available.
Temple committee also restricted plastic bag, instead of they provide flower bucket for worship, at entrance.
Also not allowed to lit candles and Pradip.
Also not allowed photography inside the main temple.
That's all...
