Dakshineswar Kali Temple

Next on the itinerary is an equally old and beautiful Hindu temple, the Dakshineswar Kali Temple. Built in 1855, just 2 years before the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the temple is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Kali. The temple also has 12 identical shrines dedicated to God Shiva.

1 hour
St. Paul's Cathedral

The Anglican St. Paul’s Cathedral is the next stop of the day. The gothic architecture of this imposing church makes it a famous attraction of Kolkata.
