    Many histories are attached to this bagbazar. It got one of the ancient temple in kolkata-- named as Baghbazar Kalibary. Maa came here through dream. Thakur Raamakrishna & Maa Sarodamoni visited there. This temple age is not denoteable, but the kali Maa who is situated there is called as the sister of Maa bhabatarini of Dakshineshwar kali temple, as because it was the last creation of the famous sclupturer of Dakhshineswar Bhabatarini Maa. Also it got one of the rare Jantram in the interior of the temple. And outside on the top of the temple Dashobhuja & Panchomundi baba Bholanath is sitting. The red grainite marbels of the outside temple is suggesting the power of Shakti. And many more things. Thank you.
