The Sri Ramakrishna Temple is the most prominent structure of the Belur Math, which was built to celebrate the diversity of Indian religions. It was consecrated on 14 January, the Makar Sankranti Day in 1938.
The design of this temple prepared by Swami Vivekananda, who was the chief disciple of Ramakrishna Paramhansa.
The temple is notable for its beautiful architecture that combines Hindu, Christian, and Islamic ideals as a symbol of the unity of all religions.
The temple is considered a prime example of the importance of the material dimension of divinity.
The temple mainly built of chunar stone, and some portion in front is of cement. The high entrance of the temple is like a South Indian Gopuram, and the pillars on both sides represent Buddhistic architectural style. The doms on the top are built-in Rajput-Moghul styles.
A full-size statue of Sri Ramakrishna is seated on a hundred petalled lotus over a damaru shaped marble pedestal wherein the Sacred relics of Sri Ramkrishna are preserved.
The temple is beautifully maintained and serene and a great place for peace and calm.
