Message & Appeals

The dream of having a Goddess Maa Kali temple in Greater Noida West has been in my mind ever since I shifted here in 2015. Matri-Peeth Kali Bari came into existence in 2019 with a few like-minded Bengali friends from different residential societies of this area, who shared the same dream.

The Bengali community is not complete without a Kali Bari of its own — Maa Kali’s temple is synonymous with Bengali existence. Matri-Peeth will be a centre for Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Lokkhi Pujo, Poila Boishakh, Rabindranath’s birthday, Netaji Subhash’s birthday, Swami Vivekananda’s birthday and many other festivals.

The Probasi Bengalis always try hard to live their culture and nurture it. It will be our endeavour to preserve it and teach the next generation, so they can carry it over to further generations and keep our cultural heritage alive.

A rich collection of Bengali literature in a library, rooms and hostel facilities for Bengali tourists and students, and a medical dispensary in the campus are among the facilities lined up in our agenda along with the temple.
