Sri Ramakrishna Birthplace Temple

Sri Ramakrishna Birthplace Temple is the shrine built on the birthplace of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (Gadadhar Chattopadhyay) at Kamarpukur in Hooghly district, West Bengal. Managed by Ramakrishna Math and Mission, Belur Math, the temple marks the site of his ancestral hut where he was born on 18 February 1836. It is a major pilgrimage centre with a white marble temple, preserved heritage structures and a museum.

Visitors can expect a serene temple complex centered on the white marble birthplace shrine with the deity image of Sri Ramakrishna. The compound includes the preserved thatched hut site, Dhani Kaman, Raghuvir Temple, Haldar-pukur tank, and a small museum displaying artifacts related to Sri Ramakrishna's early life. The environment is quiet and devotional, with prayer halls, gardens, book stall and prasad hall. Visitors can walk through the courtyards and heritage structures within the Math premises.

The temple marks the birthplace of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, born as Gadadhar Chattopadhyay on 18 February 1836 at Kamarpukur to Khudiram and Chandramani Devi. His ancestral hut stood on this site. The present marble temple was constructed by the Ramakrishna Math and Mission and consecrated in 1951, preserving the original hut location as a shrine. The surrounding structures including the family dwelling, Raghuvir Temple and village tanks are associated with his childhood life before he moved to Dakshineswar.

The temple is a major pilgrimage centre for followers of the Ramakrishna-Vedanta movement worldwide. It is revered as the Janmabhoomi of Sri Ramakrishna, an influential 19th-century mystic and spiritual teacher. The site, along with nearby Jayrambati, birthplace of Holy Mother Sarada Devi, forms an important spiritual circuit in Bengal and hosts annual celebrations on Ramakrishna Jayanti and other festivals with devotional gatherings and cultural programs.
