Dakshineswar Kali Temple is a Hindu temple located along the eastern banks of the River Ganga in Kolkata, India. Rani Rashmoni founded the temple which houses the Goddess Kali following a dream she saw when she was about to start on her pilgrimage to Benaras. A long-term plan of the Rani materialized, which she had longed to perform when her husband died with an unfulfilled wish of constructing a Kali temple. The temple is famous for its association with Ramakrishna, a mystic of 19th Century Bengal.
