Dakshineswar Kali Temple is one of the most popular place in West Bengal where people are coming from all over India and even from other countries. In the year 1855 Rani Rashmoni was founded this Kali temple and after that it became one of the most visited places in West Bengal.
Due to the heavy footfalls during every day the only road to the temple, Rani Rashmoni Road was quite over crowded.
