The Champa, The Kharga And The Katana by Bibhas De The Kali Temple deep within a nearly impenetrable jungle in this remote deltaic area of Bengal had something very special about it. Well, not the temple itself, but the image of the goddess. Her kharga, the broad sword with a menacing crescent moon shaped blade, was not made of tin foil as was customary. Instead, it was the real object, forged from the finest steel by a famed craftsman, and consecrated by none other than the head priest from Kalighat. It was about four feet long, compared to the five feet height of the image. The hilt was made of black steel, inlaid with patterns in gold threads. The hilt ended in an ivory knob carved in the shape of a lion’s head which some thought looked like a large Japanese Netsuke. The sword was quite heavy, and the arm of the goddess that carried it had to be reinforced with metal braces. Since the temple itself stood under a Polash tree that bloomed out with flame-red flowers, the sword in time came to be known as Polashi Kharga pronounced by the British as the Plassey Kharga. People came from far and wide just to have a glance at the kharga said to be the seat of the power of the goddess, considered a fully awakened deity.
