Sri Ramakrishna Math

Sri Ramakrishna Math centers tend to be sprawling campuses rather than singular buildings, so there’s a good bit to see depending on the specific location you visit. Here’s a general idea of sightseeing places you can find at Sri Ramakrishna Math locations:

• The Main Temple: Dedicated to Sri Ramakrishna and often accompanied by other shrines to his spiritual consort Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda, his chief disciple.
