Temple History
Jogadya Shaktipeeth in Kshirgram, Bardhaman, is a premier pilgrimage site where Goddess Sati’s right great toe fell. Its history blends Ramayana lore with royal patronage: legend states Lord Hanuman installed the deity Bhadrakali here after rescuing Rama from Mahi Ravana. Historically, the 11th-century brick temple was attacked by Kalapahar and restored in 1760 by Maharaja Kirti Chandra. In 2005, a unique water temple was established in Kshirdighi pond. A 600-year-old idol, discovered during 2009 excavations, was enshrined in a new red stone temple in 2011.
