Thanthania Kalibari

[5] The image of the presiding deity Siddheshwari is made of clay and was molded by Brahmachari himself, initially.

With his limited finances, he built the temple of mud walls and the roof from palm leaves.

At that point of time, the place was located in the dense forests of the Gobindapur and Sutanuti villages.

Ghosh's grandson Swami Subhodhananda was[7] a direct disciple of 19th century mystic Ramakrishna.

During his stays, he preached to common people about the awakened Maa Siddheswari present in the temple.

On the day of Kali Puja in Kartik Amavasya and "krishnapaksha tithi", she is worshipped in her "Siddheswari" form.

[9] Thanthania Kalibari is one of the few Kali temples in India, where non-veg prasad is offered to the deity.

When Ramakrishnadev fell sick while his stay at Shyamapukur, his followers prayed at the temple to Maa Siddheswari for his quick recovery, while serving non-veg prasad to the deity.
