[5][6] The temple’s history dates a century back to 1923, when a young man named Bhavesh Chakraborty had a dream after visiting Nabadwip and witnessing the grandeur of the idols there.

[12][13] About a century ago, in the early 1900s, a young man named Bhavesh Chakraborty, who was a jute mill employee and social worker, went to experience "Bhanga Rash" at Nabadwip accompanied by four friends.

After returning to his home in Naihati, he had a dream where Maa Kali, at the time a small deity of the Chakraborty family, instructed him to mould her into a gigantic idol of 22 foot, similar to the ones in Nabadwip.

[18][19] Numerous personal experiences of about how their problems were resolved or how they got success in their career soon after visiting Boro Maa's Temple and receiving her blessings, are prevalent far and near in West Bengal.

[12] On 100 years of the puja, the temple recorded the highest number of footfalls, among which more than a lakh devotees did "dandi kata" for fulfilling their wishes.

1970 onwards, the organisers decided to carry the idol of Boro Maa to the river for immersion, on a wheeled trolley by the townspeople.

[31] The ornaments have been created from small pieces of jewellery and bindis contributed by people from all walks of life over the 100 years after establishment of the temple.

[32] The deity has a dark complexion, four hands, a crimson-red tongue bordered by gold and lotus eyes, which are believed to exude both warmth and strength.

[35][36] The pran pratishtha of Boro Maa's new idol made of "kasthi pathar" was done on the day Kali puja in the same year.

Through these emblems, Boro Maa expresses the dual form of Kali as both nurturing and fearsome, reminding her devotees of the balance between reward and punishment, based on their karma.

[40] For five days every year during the Kali puja, the deity is decorated and worshipped according to the traditions and rituals which were first established by Bhavesh Chakraborty and his family.

[42] Every year for visharjan, the idol of Boro Maa is carried on a trolley by hundreds of her ardent followers to the nearby Ganges river, for the immersion.

[44] During visharjan, the idol is adorned in her "raj besh" with enormous garlands costing lakhs of rupees, which have been specially designed and prepared over many hours.

[51] Made from "Kasthi pathar", a permanent idol of Boro Maa was established inside the temple, as the principle deity.

[55] Made on a budget of ₹8 crore, a guest house for the devotees, a larger "bhog mandir" and a old age home for 400 people was also inaugurated along with the new temple.

The managing committee takes those fruits of prasad and distributes them to hospitals and old age homes, praying for their speedy recovery, good health and long live, with Boro Maa's aashirbad.
