History The Dhakeshwari tabernacle was erected in the 12th century by Ballal Sen, a king of the Sena dynasty, and it's said that the megacity was named after theGoddess.
The current architectural style of the tabernacle can not be dated to that period because of the multitudinous repairs, emendations and rebuilding which have taken place over time. It's considered an essential part of Dhaka's artistic heritage. numerous experimenters( who?) believe that the tabernacle is also one of the Shakti Peethas, where the jewel from the crown of the Goddess Sati had fallen. Although there isn't enough literal environment to establish this as a fact, experimenters have been directed to this point while trying to detect the particular Shakti Peetha.
Since periods, the tabernacle has been held in great significance. The original 800- time-old murti was taken to Kumartuli, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. During the partition of India, she was brought to Kolkata from Dhaka with millions of deportees.

The hero is 1.5 bases altitudinous, has ten arms, mounted on her captain in the form of Katyani Mahishasurmardini Durga. On her two sides are Laxmi, Saraswati, Kartik and Ganesh. A Tiwari family from Azamgarh was appointed by the royal family for diurnal deification of the deity. In 1946, the descendants of that family came to Calcutta and werere-appointed, where they still serve the Goddess continuously. It's extensively believed( according to whom?) that the Queen, woman of King Bijoy Sen went to Langolbond for bathing. On her way back she gave birth to a son, known to chroniclers as Ballal Sen. After thrusting to the throne, Ballal Sen erected this tabernacle to glorify his motherland. Legends say that Ballal Sen formerly conceited of the deity covered under the jungle. Ballal Sen uncovered the deity from there and erected a tabernacle, named for Dhakeswari. Whatever the legends describe, Hindus consider Dhakeswari to be the presiding deity of Dhaka, which is an manifestation or form of Goddess Durga the Adi Shakti. The hero of Durga is called Dhakeswari.
