About

In Nepalese folklore, the Ramna Kali Temple was founded by the devotees of the Goddess Kali.
Although the temple had stood for centuries, it was largely developed in the early 20th century.
The temple was developed under the patronage of Rani Bilashmoni Debi, wife of Rajendra Narayan (1882–1913). At this time, the temple was one of Dhaka's tallest landmarks.
On March 25, 1971, the Pakistan Army began its "Operation Searchlight" to oppose a Bengali nationalist movement in what was then East Pakistan. It led to a genocide and to the Bangladesh Liberation War.
Operation Searchlight focused on prominent Hindu sites including the Ramna Kali Mandir.
