The village Bolla is situated 20 km away from Balurghat town on the Balurghat - Malda Highway. The village is home to an historical temple dated during the British period, it is a temple where Maa Kali, a swarup of Maa Durga is worshiped by the devotees. The story behind the temple says that a Zamindar was arrested by the British as he could not pay the tax for his Zamindari. Goddess Kali came to his rescue and the Zamindar was freed the very next day. As a token of gratitude, he built a temple of Goddess Kali and started worshipping her.

The main Kali Puja is held on each Friday after the day of Rash Purnima. Huge number of devotees, from different parts of the South Dinajpur district, gather in the temple during the Puja and offer prayers. A three-day fair is organized by the Puja committee on this occasion.
