Ishwaripur, Shyamnagar, Satkhira, Khulna Division · 22.2861°, 89.1226°
An old Kali shrine at Ishwaripur in Satkhira district, counted among the 51 Shakta pithas as the place where Sati's palm fell. Its present form is associated with Maharaja Pratapaditya of Jessore, with earlier renovation attributed to Lakshman Sen.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
A general of Pratapaditya is said to have followed a beam of light into the bushes and found a stone carved in the shape of a human palm, whereupon the king raised a temple to Kali on the spot.
