Kalibari Temple

The temple of Kalibari was established way back in 1932 on December 2nd by a priest named Jaga Basishta Dev. This temple was established just when the Steel Plant was being constructed in the dense forests of Sakchi. This temple is said to be one of the holiest shrines at Jamshedpur and people throng to pay their respects to the Goddess Kali for every auspicious occasion. Kali puja in the temple has been organized for the past 27 years. It is believed that Subhas Chandra Bose's mother was the first non-Brahmin to perform a yagna at the temple in the early 1940s. Located near the Loyola School, just opposite Beldih Club the temple has attracted many devotees all over the world.
