Subramanian VenkatramanSeptember 7, 2015Don't accept garland or kumkum or anything from thieves in disguise of purohits. They will take minimum of 500 rs from your pocket just like a pickpocketrUpvote3Downvote
S PAugust 13, 2023Kalighat Kali Temple is a Hindu temple in Kalighat, Kolkata, West Bengal, India dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali. It is one of the Shakti Peethas.Upvote1Downvote- Sandy DaleyJanuary 15, 2014They turned away my 10 rupee offereing 'to the poor people'. Clearly, they do not actually need any money.
