Kali Temple

It was founded in 1973, on land designated by the nascent EPDP colony, and a small temple to Shiva was consecrated on small hill at the edge of the colony. The tradition ofDurga Puja started in 1977. Expansion of the devotee base enabled the construction of an imposing Kali temple in February 1984 in Bengal terracotta temple architecture. This was followed by two temples, one for Shiva and the other for Radha-Krishna. The temples was overlaid with elaborate terracotta designs around 2006-09.

The Kali Mandir is a hub of bengali activity owing to the high density of bengalis residing in Chittaranjan Park. Managed by the Chittaranjan Park Kali Mandir Society, it organizes a number of cultural and religious events throughout the year.

 Architecture: Bengal Terracotta temple architecture

 Rituals: Regardless of any particular, this shrine is an emblem of great fidelity. The religious offering of fresh flowers, particularly Bengal- specific flowers, is the remarkable trend followed there while carrying on religious rituals and performing rites. ‘Sandhi pooja’seems unaccomplished and incomplete without offerings ‘Blue Lotus’ for which advance booking is made to the owner of all ponds in Bengal.

 Small altars: Apart from the main shrine dedicated to goddess Kali, few small shrines have been structured for enshrining other deities as lord Shiva and RadhaKrishna since 1984.

 Library: The most fascinating feature of this shrine is its library which is a window from where anyone can peep in the customs, culture, tradition and Bengali civilization.
