Ramna Kali Mandir

The Ramna Kali Mandir (Bengali: রমনা কালী মন্দির) is a temple in Dhaka that was originally built in the time of the Mughal Empire.

The entire temple complex occupies almost 2.25 acres (9,100 m2) and is on the south side of Ramna Park, opposite the Bangla Academy.

On 27 March 1971, the Pakistan Army entered the Ramna Kali Mandir complex and, within one hour, killed more than 100 people.

A worldwide appeal has been made for any surviving relatives of the Ramna Kali Mandir massacre victims to contribute names of their deceased family members to be listed on a future memorial.

After Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan, a small temple was set up at the site for people to offer prayers.

A reconstruction of the complex was announced in 2017, when then External Affairs Minister of India, the late Sushma Swaraj, inaugurated 15 development projects in Baridhara, Dhaka.
