    Inside/Outside Views

    The architects meticulously planned the layout of the temple. The entrance wall of the Ghagar Buri temple, painted in sacred saffron, proudly displays the Trisul of Mata Ghagorburi, embedded in a silver pot at its peak. This symbol, steeped in spiritual significance, invites a sense of reverence as one steps into the temple area, adorned in light pink and saffron hues. The main deity, Kali Mata, graces this temple with her divine presence. Surrounding this central temple are several others, such as the Diya Ram temple and the Hanuman temple. The temple premises also house a Yagyashala, a sacred space for conducting occasional events like rice ceremonies, marriages, and funerals.

    The devotees worship a harmonious trio of deities in the Ghagor Buri Temple, each having unique spiritual significance. Mata Ghagorburi, the prime deity, resides in the middle, symbolizing the divine mother’s protective nature. He was flanked by Mata Durga on the left, representing the embodiment of power and strength, and Vairab or Mahadev on the right, symbolizing destruction and rebirth. This divine arrangement instills a sense of peace and unity. Adding to the spiritual ambiance, one can find hanging pictures of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Mata Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda adorning the temple walls.
