Kapalkundala Kali Mandir

This place is mentioned in Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel. The real place is not as per mentioned in novel.
The temple is situated in a congested place. There is no idol of any god. The road is narrow and there is no place for parking and even no place for remove your car. Best you park your car at shiv mandir ground.

When Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay was the deputy magistrate of Kanthi, he wrote the novel Kapal kundala, being inspired by a temple where human offerings used to be made once upon a time. This was the first major novel written in Bengali, and Bengali prose writing started to take baby steps. The old temple, although dilapidated, still exists there.

This is one of the most important historical evidence in this locality...
Femous Bengali writer Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay wrote his femous novel" Kapalkundala's " plot in that location in long year ago..

A place of kali worship, which is famous locally. But do not mix this with the kapalkundala kali temple of vankim chandra. That is near the sea and another 6 to 7 km from here. The same name could be misleading.

This is a Heritage temple of Purba Medinipur District, We know the story of Nabakumar in Kapalkundala written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. but, there is no proper maintenance. The temple is In a very worst condition.

Historical place & Temple ...Main attraction is Kapalkundala Kali temple ...Bankim Chandra written his Kapalkundala novel in the purpose of the temple history

This temple is actually the Shiva temple may be a contemporary of Kapalkundala Kali Mandir which exists almost 500 feet inside the village from this temple. The Kapalkundala Mandir has no idol now, although transpires since long, and is a private property since very long time. It is used for accommodation and behind it erected toilets which raised ire of village people. By consequence village people with local byabsai samitee erected a Kapalkundala Temple beside the roadside. It has two different idols of Kali.

It's a heritage of India and West Bengal but it's neglected very badly. In our famous literatures the temple is mentioned. It's in a ruined state, needs a lot of development. Government should take care of it. The idol of goddess Kali is more than 300 years old. Once upon a time in past human sacrifices were offered to Devi, the weapon (খাঁড়া) is still kept by the side of the idol. Tho nothing like slotering is performed in modern days. It's a must see please for Hindu pilgrims.
