730AM- Recogida en el hotel Nuestro primer destino es Belur Math, la sede mundial de la Misión Ramakrishna. Esta morada para la espiritualidad es un gran lugar para comenzar el Sendero del Templo en Calcuta. Construida en 1938, según los principios de universalidad de las religiones de Sri Ramakrishna, Belur Math incorpora los motivos arquitectónicos de un templo hindú, un chaitya budista, una iglesia cristiana y una mezquita islámica. Visitaremos el Templo de Sri Ramakrishna, el Antiguo Santuario, el Templo de Swami Brahmananda, el Templo de la Santa Madre, el Templo de Swami Vivekananda, el Recinto de Samadhi, la Antigua Matemática y el Museo Ramakrishna.
930AM- Templo Dakshineswar Kali Nos dirigimos al famoso templo de Dakshineswar que alberga a la diosa Kali. Fue fundada por Rani Rashmoni siguiendo un sueño que tuvo cuando estaba a punto de comenzar su peregrinación a Benaras. Visitaremos el templo de Kali, de nueve torres, en el centro del patio principal. El ídolo de Kali es una figura de basalto y parece fascinante con su cubierta de brocado de oro. Nuestro guía le contará la historia de cómo este lugar desempeñó un papel importante en la independencia de la India.
11AM - Templo Pareshnath Jain A continuación visitaremos un famoso templo dedicado a la fe jainista. Los comerciantes jainistas siguieron a la Compañía de las Indias Orientales a Calcuta. Forman una parte significativa de la sociedad actual en Calcuta. Este templo está dedicado a Pareshnath, el 23 Jain Tirthankar. Desde que el templo fue consagrado en 1867, ¡una lámpara ha estado brillando en el sanctum sanctorum desde entonces!
1230 PM - Templo Kalighat Kali El templo de Kali en Kalighat es uno de los templos más populares de Calcuta. Los peregrinos se agolpan aquí para orar a la diosa. Originalmente una pequeña choza, este templo fue construido por el rey Manasingha a principios del siglo XVI. La estructura actual del templo fue construida por la familia Sabarna Roy Chowdhury en 1809. Nuestro guía le contará la historia de la danza cósmica mortal del Señor Shiva, donde los dedos del pie derecho de su esposa Sati cayeron en las instalaciones del templo. 2 PM- Almuerzo 4 PM- Regreso al hotel

Anirban was fantastic, funny and knowledgeable about the beautiful temples we saw. Highly recommended, and complimentary for those that have already done a general guided tour of Kolkata.
It is a good idea to pick this trip to visit the Kali temples which may be difficult without explanations and guidance for a single tourist.
On the plus side the guide was extremely efficient we were done by noon and saw all 4 temples so that was great but we often felt rushed and didn't get too linger/enjoy/take pictures very much. Guide was unaware lunch was included that was straightened out and he took us somewhere really good but there was a 400 rupee per person limit so be sure you have rupees with you to cover the additional charges. Also they do not have water in the vehicle, a first for me on a Viator trip, so you will need small denominations to buy water. The tour was close to $500 for the 3 of us. We thought it was expensive for what you got. But we did see the temples and the driver and guide are nice. So all and all it was OK.
The guide and the driver were very knowledgeable, personable, and communicated relevant information very well. Navigating the Kolkata traffic during office hours was challenging, and we had to take alternative routes. Despite all these issues, the temple visits were satisfying and peaceful. The guide provided a lot of background information and history. His knowledge was appreciated. Thank you very much!
Wonderful and enthusiastic tour guides. Very kind and helpful. They really cared about us. many many thanks to them..
Our guide Anirban was great. We travelled around the city seeing several sites. The various sites were all very interesting and Anirban added additional context and connections so we came away with a greater understanding of how the religions of the area relate to the history and development in the region. Recommend! Even in monsoon!!
Great overview of different temples located at different areas of Kolkata allowing the visitor to see different neighbourhoods and obtain some commentary on them. Equally interesting are the choices of the temples which differ in religion, style and atmosphere. Guide was friendly and spoke clearly.
My guide Anirban was very knowledgeable. Despite the really hot and humid weather, the tour was really good. It was nice to see a variety of temples and other parts of Kolkata on the drive between them.
