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 !!!

Rail Museum

Reviewed By somas260 - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

I went to Rail Museum on last Saturday afternoon. Museum is in walking distance from Howrah Railway Station and convenient to reach. I would rate it as excellent because it is only Rail Museum near Kolkata with so much information about Eastern Railway. Evolution of Indian Railways is nicely displayed with model coaches like Double Decker trains.,Saloon Car trains,narrow gauge steam engines etc. Inside this small open air museum various small galaries are maintained on Railway Commnication process, Railway stamps, Railways staffs. Very informative and every school student should visit this place. There also a toy train running with additional ticket of Rs. 10 per person and the museum ticket price is Rs. 30. Museum is small, it will not take more than 2-3 hours to visit.

Howrah Junction Railway Station

Reviewed By RameshKN - Bengaluru, India

Some OLD photographs are kept to tell about history, but they are kept in one corner and so high that one cannot really read or understand what it is, I would rather recommend a rail museum with all these. Huge station and well maintained, the cafeteria in Old building is good
