The Statue of Rani Rashmoni 

History :

This huge three-storeyed building was built in 1855 by Rani Rashmoni, a philanthropist and a devotee of kali. In the year 1847, Rani Rashmoni prepared to go to the sacred Hindu city of Kashi, to express her devotions to the divine mother. According to traditional accounts, the night before the pilgrimage began, the divine mother appeared in her dreams in the form of goddess Kali. Profoundly affected by the dream, Rani immediately purchased a huge plot of land in Dakshineswar. Thus, the large temple complex was built between 1847 to 1855.
