It aches immensely to tell about pathetic state of this temple. Go with the mindset that you should go in the main darshan line rather than falling into pandas trap. They ask for lot of money at main shrine, the sacrifice point, and also other corrupt people( they identify you through a specific kind of tilaks these pandas put on your forehead) who come for money claiming they are workers.
Also the shopkeepers where were forced to keep shoes ask for lot of money. They gave us very bad quality sweets and sari to be offered to Devi looked so old and faded, which appeared as though it was being rotated in and out of temple to fool people or maybe it was really a pathetic unused stock.
While leaving one of the priests shamelessly said that Kalighat is the only true Kali and not at Dakshineshwar? How low can someone on priest position can stoop is so unimaginable.
Real example of hollow transactional phenomena in name of Kali. She is silent at this mess, but it will be a terrible doom for all these culprits at the hour of her extreme rage.
The CM pays frequent visit to this temple. Is this malpractice garbage being deliberately put up
