KALI MA OF CULCUTTA
The Prime seat of Sakteism

SOURCE

History, mythology and literature seem vie with one another in embodying, and disseminating the glory of this divya saktipitha. The corpus of evidence embedded in the archives is so abundant that it supplies enough material for several doctoral theses, if there is enthusiasm enough to doing research. Devotional literatures of Chandidas, Kamalakanta, Ramprasad etc., too offer ample proof to the fame of Mother Sakti. Mundakopanishad, Kalikapuranam, Manusamhita, Devi Bhagavata, Markandeya and Brihatdharma Puranas in particular embody elaborate episodes about the emergence of this goddess and the fame of this place.
