Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a two-day visit to Bangladesh, on Saturday (27 March) performed puja at the Jeshoreshwari Kali temple.
The Jeshreshwari Kali temple is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to Goddess Kali and is located in Ishwaripur, a village in Shyamnagar upazila of Satkhira district in Bangladesh. The name "Jeshoreshwari" means "Goddess of Jeshore".
It is one of the 51 Shaktipeeths spread across India and neighbouring countries.
"Feeling blessed after praying at the Jeshoreshwari Kali temple," PM Modi said in a tweet.
"Today, I got the opportunity to visit this Shaktipeeth to pay obeisance to Maa Kali. I prayed to her to free the human race from Covid-19," said PM Modi after performing puja at the temple.
"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," said PM Modi.
"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 of India will do construction work. I express gratitude to Bangladesh government that they have wished us well for this," he added.
PM Modi is also slated to visit the Orkandi temple before holding talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina later in the day.
