Parbad Kali Mandir
Parbad Kali Temple
Parbad Kali Temple (Hindi: परबाद काली मंदिर) is a historic Hindu temple located in Parbad village, Sarath block, Deoghar district, Jharkhand, India. It is dedicated to Goddess Kali and is estimated to be over 250 years old. The temple serves as a significant religious site for the local community. A renovation project was completed recently with a budget of approximately ₹1 crore.
History
The temple was established in the 18th century by the forefathers of Thakur Ram Kishor Ray, the zamindar and Thakur of Parbad village. He is believed to have personally financed the construction due to his devotion to Goddess Kali. The temple became an important center of religious and cultural activities in the region.
Architecture
Originally, the temple featured traditional regional architectural styles, using local materials and artisans. The sanctum sanctorum (garbhagriha) houses the idol of Kali Mata, designed for tantric rituals and mainstream worship.
Between 2024 and 2025, a major renovation was undertaken to restore the temple while maintaining its cultural and spiritual significance, costing about ₹1 crore.
