‘Ma Sarada Kutir’: This house, situated 2 km away from the centre, was earlier known as Kalababu’s Kunj and belonged to the family of Sri Balaram Basu, one of the chief lay disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi stayed in this house for a year after the passing away of the Master. It is also sanctified by the stay of almost all monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna. The Sevashrama had its humble beginning here with a small homoeopathic dispensary in 1907.
This house has a shrine and a permanent exhibition on the Holy Trio.
