CALCUTTA - DHAKSHINESWAR MANDIR

SRI BANGESWARA MAHADEV TEMPLE

The very remembrance of Sri Bangeswar Mahadev mandir lying in the midst of a sprawling garden with fountains of different sizes surrounding the colorful flower plants, sends thrills in the spines of Hindus, living in its near-about and hastens them for worship and pleasure; for its recreational potentialities seem vying with spiritual solace. Bengalis, being the staunch worshippers of Sakti, normally regard Siva as an ignoramus nomad, and underrate Him with the label `Bhola Shankar', which means implicitly that He is innocent and deserves to be adored next to MOTHER Kali only. Hence there are only a few mandirs built here and there exclusively for Siva. Among them this one is very popular.
