Boro Maa Kali Temple, Naihati
Boro Maa Kali Temple is a Hindu temple in Naihati, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal in India, dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, one of the 10 Mahavidyas in the Hindu tantric tradition and the supreme deity in the Kalikula worship tradition. The temple's history dates a century back to 1923, when a young man named Bhavesh Chakraborty had a dream after visiting Nabadwip and witnessing the grandeur of the idols there. Inspired, he returned to Naihati and built a 22-foot-tall idol of Goddess Kali, which has over the years, come to be known as the "Boro Maa".
