The Bangladeshi authorities have renovated the Jeshoreshwari Temple in Satkhira ahead of Prime Minister Modi’s visit.

Before leaving for Bangladesh, Prime Minister Modi tweeted that he hopes to be able to offer prayers to the goddess Kali at the ancient Jashoreshwari Kali temple.

Dedicated to the goddess Kali, Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple is a famous Hindu temple located in Ishwaripur, a town in Shyam Nagar, Upazila of Satkhira.

The second temple, which is located in Gopalganj’s Orakandi, is home to hundreds of Matua Hindu communities, a large number of whom are residents of West Bengal.

“I am particularly eager to interact with representatives of the Matua community in Orakandi, from where Sri Harichandra Thakur ji spread his pious message,” Prime Minister Modi said in a statement Thursday.

After his visit to the temples, Prime Minister Modi will hold talks with his counterpart Sheikh Hasina and they will likely sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries. Thereafter, he will visit the President of Bangladesh, Abdul Hamid.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Bangladesh on Friday on a two-day visit to the nation, his first tour to a foreign country since the COVID-19 outbreak last year.
