Old Math

The old Math is also known as the garden house of Nilambar Babu, which is now part of Belur Math, formerly housed in the Ramakrishna monastery. It is situated near Belur boat ghat, about one kilometer south of Belur Math.

It came under the possession of Belur Math in 1984, and after extensive renovation, it was opened to the public on 12th December 1987 on Mother's birthday. Belur Math is the fourth and permanent residence of the Ramkishan order, the earlier three being the Baranagore Math, the Alambazar Math, and the Old Math.

It is associated with the sacred memories of all the disciples of Sri Ramakrishna.

Maa Sharda stayed here many times and blessed many seekers with initiation.

Places to see here are- Shrine (the room where Mother stayed during her visit, located on the northeast corner upstairs). Terrace( The place where Mother used to sit for meditation called the Pancha -Tapa Terrace), and the Bathing Ghat ( Where Mother used to sit on the steps of this ghat and admire the beauty of the Ganga flowing by.)
