Ramakrishna Mission Temple

Ramakrishna Mission Temple

Swami Vivekananda, the great disciple of Shri Ramakrishna Paramahansa wanted a temple to be built incorporating the features of temple architecture of different creeds and religions and that is exactly what has been done. A Hindu would see a replica of a Hindu temple, a Muslim will be struck by the reproduction of some of the features of some of the greatest Muslim edifices, a Jain or a Buddhist would equally find himself at home in particular parts of the Ramakrishna temple at Belur. Personal touches of different places of prayer for the different creeds have been studied, blended and reproduced in a sublime harmonious manner. The great principle of universal brotherhood that the Ramakrishna Mission propagates is sought to be underlined by the particular way this temple has been constructed.
