To the left of Bhubaneswari Kali is Mangalchandi, a small temple of Dakshinakali in Dundee. According to folklore, an 8-year-old girl was buried alive at the time of the idol’s installation and an altar was built over it. The news of the puja is still carried by Pranavachand Mahatab, a descendant of Burdwan Maharaja.’

Narayaneshwar is in front of the goddess in Bhubaneswari temple. The temple priest said, ‘A shell Ranima brought from the sea more than a hundred years ago. Since then we play this conch every evening after Sandhyarati.’ The sound of this shell spread throughout the area. On the day of Puja, there is no place to keep sesame seeds in the temple premises. Devotees come from far and wide to participate in the temple puja. Daily service is available. However, due to lack of maintenance, many parts of the temple are gradually falling apart.
