Introduction

The Siddheshwari Kali Mandir is dedicated to Shakthi devi, located at 14 Siddheshwari Lane in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is unknown how and when the temple was established. It is known that the name of Siddheshwari has come from the temple’s name board. It is estimated that someone called Chand Rai established this temple. The centre of the temple has valuable statue of “Kali Ma” and the temple was extended with columns. In the courtyard of the temple a “Roktochondon” tree is standing. Near the temple there was an old pond and some old temples. At the time of Sharodio festival the people have placed Puja in front of the statue of Devi Ma for years.
