Belur Math

The headquarters of the international Ramakrishna Order.

Reviewed By junaban - Brampton, Canada

We had the opportunity to visit the math on the auspicious day of Mahalaya !! Since it was early morning the devotees were much lesser than in Dakshineshwar! The ghat was very busy with devotees taking a dip in the holy river to mark the end of tarpan. Had fresh Kachori with Alu sabzi in a stall outside the math!! Ferry ride is a wonderful experience and makes the commute between Dakshineshwar and Belur a breeze !! A must visit place if you are in Kolkata !!!

Panitras Samtaber

Reviewed By Angshu_Kolkata - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

On our trip to Deulti, we visited this sacred place. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is probably the most read novelist in Bengali. this is the house where he has spent about two decades, after he came back from Burmah and before settling to Kolkata. The house is quite spacious, with two floors and a number of rooms. There is a courtyard with a old paddy. The house is a typical Bangla design, with a few modern elements. Sarat Chandra's used items, his homeopathic medicines and books, his wring desk, cott, are well kept. He truly lived a simple life, you can imagine. The Rupnarayan river can be seen from the first floor verandah.
