Kolkata’s ‘Miracle’ temple that once healed a sick Chinese boy

In a small town in Kolkata, Tangra, the people of Chinese origin can be found in abundance. They own shops, and businesses, and live there with family, calling India their home. And for one such family years ago, this temple became a miracle. According to local lore, the temple’s story begins with a Chinese boy who had been severely ill and his parents couldn’t find a cure for him. So, desperate to save their son, they went to the Kali temple near their home, and prayed with great devotion and faith, and just hoped for a miracle. Gradually, the boy’s condition started getting better and the family was elated. It is said that before this incident, the temple was just 2 black stones that were worshipped by people as Maa Kali, and even as a Shivling, but the family then constructed a proper shrine over there.
