Ramakrishna Math, located at Nirlanagar is a spiritual
centre functioning for the development of cultural, religious and spiritual
activities according to the universal principles propounded by Sri Ramakrishna,
Holy Mother Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. Constructed in 2nd February,
1987, the marble temple of Sri Ramakrishna stands out as a unique
combination of various styles of architecture that includes those imbibed
by the Chandellas, Chalukyas and Pallavas of Southern India besides the
Mughals and the Jains.
The Garbha Griha which is the innermost chamber of the temple has nine
domes, which is a copy similar to the temple dedicated to Shri Ramakrishna
at Belur Math. The windows and terraces are a copy of the Rajput
style of architecture while the cemented lattice design (Jali) resembles
Muslim architecture. The height of main dome is 90 feet from the ground.
Inside the Sanctum Sanctorum cut out profiles from photos of Sri Ramakrishna,
Sri Sri Ma Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda have been placed. At the
main gate of the temple, the Logo (monogram) of the Ramakrishna Math and
the Ramakrishna Mission has been fixed inside huge glass frames right
above the door. At the gate of the Natmandir two intricately carved wooden
dwarpalas (door keepers) - Jaya and Vijaya, of about three feet height
appear guarding the temple.
