New Delhi Kalibari (Bengali: নতুন দিল্লী কালীবাড়ি) the center for Bengali culture in New Delhi, one of the oldest Maa Kali temple in Delhi-NCR.
One acre land of Goddess Kali with a Pratima resembling the one at Kalighat Kali Temple in Kolkata. The mandir committee was formalized in 1935 with Subhas Chandra Bose as the first president, and the first mandir building was inaugurated by Sir Manmatha Nath Mukherjee.
Location wise Kalibadi temple placed in heart of Delhi, very much close to Cannought place and next to Laxmi Narayan Temple. It`s pretty old built-in 1930. The best things you like Murti of Kali Maa, so mesmerizing. Just go there, fold your hands, and look into the Kali Maa Idol and you somehow feel the divine presence. This place is a must-visit place during Durgo Pujo`s time.
The place is quiet and serene and a visit to the Kali Bari evokes a sort of mental peace. The Kali puja (Bengali`s worship maa kali in Diwali which is known as Kali puja) here is held in the traditional style and the puja rituals have remained unchanged. For constructing the puja pandal, artisans and decorators are brought from Kolkata.
The New Delhi Kali Bari is easily accessible by Metro, buses, taxis, electric rickshaws.
In the name of Maa Kali Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore wrote a poem:
Bohu din dhore, bohu kosh dure,
bohu byay kori, bohu desh ghure,
Dekhite giyachhi parbotmala, dekhite giyachhi sindhu,
Dekha hoy nai chokkhu meliya,
Ghar hote shudhu dui pa feliya,
Ekti dhaner shisher upore ekti shishir bindu
An English rendering of the poem (by Rajib Roy) goes like this:
I traveled miles, for many a year,
I spent a lot in lands afar,
I`ve gone to see the mountains,
The oceans I`ve been to view.
But I haven`t seen with these eyes
Just two steps from my home lies
On corn of paddy grain,
A glistening drop of dew.
