During British times the Indian army was called ‘Kali Platen’ known as the black army.
As the temple was located close to the army barrack, it is been known by the name of
‘Kali Paltan mandir’. Its close proximity to the Indian army camps offered a safe haven for freedom fighters, who used to visit and stay here for their secret meetings with the officers of ‘Kali Paltan’.
