Kali Bari Mandir is a Hindu temple on Bantony Hill, Shimla. The temple is dedicated to an incarnation of the Hindu goddess Kali, known as Shyamala, after which the city of Shimla might have been named.[1]
The temple was established in 1823 by the Bengali surveyors from Calcutta (capital at the time) as part of the project to make Shimla the summer capital of British India.[2] The temple trust was formed in 1902.[2]
