Sri Kali Temple
About Kalyaneswar Shiva Temple: 
It is believed that the Shiva Lingam has been emerged from the earth by itself and found by some local villagers more than 500 years ago. They build a temple which was sponsored by the Jamindar (local Barron) of that time. A Kali temple also is built in the same campus.

Sri Ramakrishna who lived at Dakshineswar used to visit the temple frequently along with his followers. Swami Vivekananda, Swami Brahmananda and others also worshiped in this temple. Till date it is still followed by the monks of Ramakrishna Order especially on Shivaratri day.
