Chira Chas, Bokaro, Jharkhand · 23.6500°, 86.1700°
A modern Kali temple at Chira Chas in Bokaro raised between July 2010 and July 2012 by Aashiyaan Estate Developers at the initiative of Shivananda Sinha. Laid out on a pentagonal lotus plan with five petal-shaped entrances, it runs over 160 feet long under a 90-foot stupa, with a prayer hall of more than 4,000 square feet in the basement.
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.
Devotees hold that the goddess grants the wishes of those who pray here, and a cobra found during the digging of the foundations was taken as an auspicious sign of Shiva.
