A visit to Dakshineswar is a must, if for nothing else, but for its architectural brilliance. Often compared to the architectural style of Sacré-Cœur because of its multi-tiered arches and turrets, the temple was built in the year 1855 and was dedicated to Goddess Kali. The twelve-spired structure with a sprawling courtyard is flanked by twelve smaller temples that are consecrated to Lord Shiva. Built in the conventional Indian nava-ratna style, this cream and red-coloured temple is one of the largest ones in Kolkata.
