Kalibari Mandir (Sanskrit: कालीबरी मंदिर) is a Hindu temple in Peshawar, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. This temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali and Durga Puja is its main festival.

History

It is one of the few surviving Hindu temple in Peshawar, along with Goraknath Mandir, Gor Khatri and Dargah Pir Ratan Nath Jee, Jhanda Bazaar. This is the only ongoing functional temple in daily use along with Dargah Pir Ratan Nath Jee, Jhanda Bazaar. Court ordered the Evacuee Trust Property Board to open the Goraknath Mandir, Gor Khatri, which opens once a year on Diwali.
