Kali Temple This interesting temple, 6 km south of Sudder Street, is dedicated to Kali, the patron goddess of Kolkata. Kali means "black".

The present temple was built in 1809 on the site of a much older temple. Mother Teresa’s homes A visit to this place will give your Kolkata visit a new dimension.
