Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday visited Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple in Ishwaripur, Satkhira district in Bangladesh and offered prayers. Speaking to media after the visit, PM Modi said that he prayed to her to Goddess Kali to free the human race from COVID-19.
“When Maa Kaali mela is held here, large devotees come from across border (India) and here. A community hall is needed which should be multi-purpose so that when people come here during Kaali puja, it is useful to them too,” he added.
“It should be useful even for social, religious and educational events. Most importantly, it should act as a shelter for all at the time of disasters like cyclone. Government will do construction work. I express gratitude to Bangladesh Govt that they have wished us well for this,” PM Modi stated.
Dedicated to Goddess Kali, Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple is a famous Hindu temple located in Ishwaripur — a village in Shyam Nagar, Upazila of Satkhira. It is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths, scattered across India and neighbouring countries.
