Kalikapatadi is a dance mostly performed in West Bengal state of India. It is commonly known as the Folk Dance of Howrah District.

This form is based on stories of Lord Shiva. Most of the dance is on account of killing of evil by Shiva and then cooling his anger. It is mainly performed in the GAJAN festival on the eve of ending of Bengali calendar year (Nil Ratri).
