There is a little long queue on 8th March, but the pandits forcibly drove us to go in separate lane by taking some money. There is no clear Darshana at all if you fall in with the word of those obstacle and cheating pandits. You better go in queue to see Kali matha idol.

You can visit temple for darshan any time, late evening will be better due to lesser crowd comparatively.

I did not see any ramp on the way to the idol. My advice is to avoid this temple and visit Dhakshineswar temple which is much more better than this and no touts and goondas here.

Hi Bestsan 😊 best time to visit the temple is early morning 6-7am . It opens up at 5 am for Aarti. Rush days are Tuesdays, Fridays Saturdays and Bengali festivals. But early morning visit is the best. Approx 30 mins if early morning otherwise it is 1 hour.

Don't think this is related to Kalighat at all. This probably is a new hotel at Deulti near Kolaghat. This place is around 70 kms. from Kolkata, About a 90 minutes drive. The main highway portion is very good. But don't have any idea at all about what they serve. Have probably seen the location. Bang on the very wide Rupnarayan river. Wonderful view.

Dear Sundari N, I understand fully your concern rgarding harasment by panda,s as done in most religious places. I woulld suggest you to go to any of the shops inside the Kalighat temple premises where prasad is sold, all the shops have their pandas, they will take you for darshan and bring back safely to their shop.You may pay them Rs 50-100 as per your convineience, I also do the same , Since i go regularly i prefer a particular shop.If you want i can give you the number, but remember one thing go to big shop inside the premises not on shops outside the premises, you will also encounter new pandas on the streets before the temple awoid them.
