One of the Kolkata's most sacred sites, Kalighat Kali Temple is known as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas on Earth. About 200 years old, this historic temple is dedicated to Hindu Goddess Kali. As legend has it, this is the place where Sati's toes of the right foot fell. Countless devotees, regardless of sectarian differences, visit this holy temple to offer prayers to the goddess.
