Kali Chaudas Special Kalighat Shaktipeeth Chadhava

🔱✨ When the darkness of night reaches its peak, on the night before Kartik Amavasya (Diwali), when the deep dark sky of Chaturdashi holds neither moon nor stars, Maa Kali is believed to manifest in Her most awakened and powerful form. This is the night of Kali Chaudas, when Maa protects Her devotees from the evil eye and all forms of negativity - known and unknown, visible and invisible.
On Kali Chaudas, when Maa Kali’s protective powers are believed to be at their strongest, make an offering at Her most revered abode, Kalighat Shaktipeeth, one of the most significant among the 51 Shaktipeeths. Seek Maa’s blessings and invoke Her unwavering protection against evil forces, planetary afflictions, karmic obstacles and negativity.
🛕 Shri Kalighat - One of India’s Most Revered Kali Shaktipeeths
Kalighat is the sacred land where four toes of Maa Sati’s right foot are believed to have fallen. The Tantrachudamani identifies it as one of India’s foremost Kali Peeths. Here, Maa resides as Dakshina Kalika, depicted with three eyes, a golden tongue and four silver arms. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda and Maharshi Krishnananda Agamavagish are among the revered spiritual figures associated with this sacred centre of Kali worship. Maa is worshipped here in Her self-manifested form, and devotees offer their prayers seeking Her direct grace.
🛕 Make an Offering at Kalighat Shaktipeeth from Home
Being physically present at Shri Kalighat Shaktipeeth at midnight on Kali Chaudas to make an offering may not be possible for every devotee. However, through the Sri Mandir app, you can arrange an offering at Kalighat in your name from the comfort of your home. The temple’s authorised Vedic purohitji will perform the offering during the auspicious muhurat, following the prescribed rituals. Video will be available within 24–48 hours after the offering is completed.
🙏 Before Diwali arrives, seek to remove negativity from your life and receive Maa Kali’s fearless protection. Register your name for the Chadhava today!
