This temple has shaped up Lucknow’s intellectual quotient
From
being one of the prominent centres of the First War of Indian Independence
dating back to 1857 to the strategic venue of Lucknow Pact in 1916, the 1920's
Khilafat Movement and eventually the power centre of India's most populous
state, Lucknow has evolved as an important destination on the nation's political
landscape. While some of the monuments still exist to narrate their tales of
glory, others have faded into oblivion.
One
of these historical places, which has grown with the city since the First War
of Indian Independence and has been witness to each and every development that
the city underwent in its odyssey, is the Kali Bari. A temple dedicated to
Goddess Kali, which is barely six years younger to the famous revolt, which
shook the foundation of the British Empire. Located in the by-lanes of Ghasiyari
Mandi, this temple not only commands the devotion and faith of thousands of
devotees, who flock here frequently to seek solace to their woes, but has also
played a major role in improving the social and educational atmosphere and
infrastructure of the city.
