Kali Temple

The Kali Temple in Visakhapatnam was started by Bengali settlers in the early 19th century as a simple thatched shrine. It was later rebuilt through the philanthropy of Sri Rama Prasad Rayalu, and its design combines Bengali, Odia and Telugu architecture with detailed carving.

The main idol of Goddess Kali is decorated with gold and silver ornaments, and the complex also has shrines to Shiva and Ganesha, along with smaller shrines on the way to the central hall. Each September or October, thousands of people gather here for Durga Puja.
