Kolkata Dakshineswar Kali Temple

We were so close yet so far! We were there at the door steps of Kolkata Dakshineswar Kali temple yet we couldn’t gain entry to temple.

Bad planning! I knew the temple timings well, but what I didn’t anticipate was the long queue of devotees! They were everywhere there… all bathed, wrapped in wet towel, carrying flowers and other offerings for the Goddess. I thought I was early, but 6 in the morning is not early for Kolkata. By its standards we were late!

Had I decided to stand in queue the plan for rest of the day planned for sight seeing in Kolkata would have gone topsy-turvy. Murmuring prayers in my heart I exited the temple after taking a few pictures.
