Ghaghar Burhi is a small shrine to a form of the goddess Kali, set in a ravine on the eastern edge of Asansol. The image of the goddess is a black stone marked with vermilion, kept in a simple structure under trees, and the surroundings — a wooded gorge, a stream, a procession of pilgrims on weekends — are more interesting than the building itself.
The festival of Kali Puja in October or November is the busiest time. Most other days it is a quiet, slightly atmospheric stop a few kilometres east of central Asansol. Local rickshaws know the place.
