Firinghi Kalibari is a temple dedicated to the Hindu Goddess kali located on B.B Ganguly street in the Boubazar locality of Kolkata, India. The temple is said to be over 500 years old, and is named after its association with Anthony Firingee, a European who converted to Hinduismand was a great devotee of Kali.

Though the temple premise is not big but it's a cultural heritage place of kolkata having a long history of cultural bonding between Portuguese and Bengali people. Ma Kali is also know here as Ma Siddheswari and after keeping a visit there you will feel really blessed to see her with your eyes. I prayed her to save the world from this current pandemic. Jai Ma.

It's a magnificent temple in Central Kolkata. The name of the temple is very unique it's a combination of European and Indian name.
