History
The temple was built in 1848 by Jai Narayan Mitra, a famous zamindar and a devotee of Kali.[2] Mitra bought 3 bighas plot from one Mr. James and founded the temple.[3] The presiding deity of the temple is Kripamayee ("She who is merciful"), a form of Kali. It is a colossal nabaratna (nine-spired) temple with twelve shrines dedicated to Shiva, Kali's consort.[4]
