Budge budge kali bari
In 1992-93, a group of looters, after plundering valuable items, reached the banks of the Ganges in Budge Budge to divide their spoils. Among their loot was a hand-sized stone idol made of black granite. By the riverside, in a cremation ground, on the sacred Panchamundi seat, Swami Karunananda, the guru of Doyal Thakur, consecrated this idol. Over the years, this site has attracted numerous spiritual seekers, including the renowned Kamalakanta. Tarashankar Bandopadhyay also references this place in his work Gosaibaba, where he describes the area and its significance in worship. Owing to the small size of the idol, the goddess is affectionately known in the region as “Khuki Ma” or the Little Mother, and she holds a special place in the hearts of devotees.
