About Sri Sri Karunamoyee Kali Mandir The sacred Sri Sri Karunamoyee Kali Mandir traces its origins to 1760 AD, when Sri Nandadulal Roy Chowdhury of the illustrious Sabarna Roy Chowdhury family enshrined the idol of Maa Karunamoyee, sculpted from a black touchstone revealed to him in a divine vision. The site, on the banks of the Adi Ganga, has long been a revered seat of Adi Kali worship, home to the ancient Panchamundi Asan and surrounded by twelve Shiva temples. Originally crowned by a grand Navaratna temple, the shrine has undergone several reconstructions, the most recent inaugurated in 1985 by Revered Swami Shivarupananda Maharaj of the Ramakrishna Mission. Through centuries of change, the idol of Maa Karunamoyee and the twelve Shiva Lingas have remained untouched, continuing to draw devotees seeking blessings, peace, and spiritual strength. About Karunamoyee Maa Karunamoyee Ramakrishna Sevashram In 2001, the Managing Trustee of Sri Sri Karunamoyee Kali Mandir, Shri Ashok Roy Chowdhury, inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s ideal of “Shiva Jnane Jiva Seva” — serving humanity as the worship of God — founded Karunamoyee Maa Karunamoyee Ramakrishna Sevashram. The Sevashram was envisioned as an extension of the temple’s spiritual legacy, dedicated to combining bhakti (devotion) with seva (service). One of its most significant milestones has been the establishment of a residential home for children with the generous support of patrons and devotees. This home provides shelter, education, and holistic care to underprivileged children, enabling them to grow up in an environment filled with love, discipline, and moral values. Since its inception, it has become a centre for: Daily Worship & Spiritual Activities in honour of Maa Karunamoyee. Cultural and Religious Programs that uphold the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, Maa Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda. Educational and Welfare Initiatives for the underprivileged. Humanitarian Service in times of need, reflecting the belief that every act of service is worship. Activities of Karunamoyee Maa Karunamoyee Ramakrishna Sevashram. At Panchavati Ananda Ashram, currently 25 underprivileged children have been accepted as students. Students participate in various competitions and earn prizes. Free Homeopathy, allopathy, and eye treatment are available for financially poor people. Every year at Labpur Phullara Peethasthan in Birbhum, clothes are distributed among the poor villagers and lunch is provided to 2000 people.
