★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kali Temple of Bamondas Mookerjee lies very close to Garden House of Cossipore (Udyan bati) and houses the idol of Kripamoyee Kali and Shiva lingas of Durgeswar and Kshetreswar. The temple remains open for a very limited span of time once in the morning and evening.
Bamondas Mukherjee was known as ‘King of Black Diamond’ and he was granted a piece of colliery land at Sitarampur by Maharani Swarnamoyee of Cossimbazar. This land did magic for him as it yielded superior quality of coal, thereby enabling him to amass a huge fortune. In 1904 Bamondas Mookerjee built a navaratna (nine pinnacled) temple and installed the deities of Kali and Shiva. All the three deities are made from a single touchstone. He had a dream from where he came to know that a huge chunk of touchstone was lying at the garden of the Daw family (south of Belur Math) by the side of the Ganges at Belur in Howrah.
The temple also witnessed a grand reception of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose by locals on being elected President of Indian National Congress in 1939 and there is a plaque outside the temple mentioning the incident.
