History & highlights
The present temple structure is commonly linked to early 19th-century patronage (often cited around 1809), while older traditions connect Kalighat’s sacredness to much earlier periods of worship. Modern conservation and renovation work has also been undertaken recently to preserve its heritage character while improving visitor flow and facilities.
