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.
