GANGASAGAR : Gangasagar is a place of Hindu pilgrimage. Many people from different states of India come here Every year on the
day of Makar Sankranti, lakhs of devotees gather to take a holy dip at the
confluence of river Ganges and Bay of Bengal and offer prayers (puja) in the
Kapil Muni Temple.
Dakshineswar
Kali Temple: Located in the northern part of Kolkata, is one of the most
significant and popular Hindu temples in India. The temple is dedicated to
Goddess Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction and creation, and attracts
thousands of devotees and tourists every day. The temple’s architecture,
history, and religious significance make it a must-visit destination for anyone
traveling to Kolkata.
BELUR MATH - Situated on the west bank of the Hooghly
River in north Kolkata, lies Belur Math, the headquarters of Ramakrishna Math
and Mission, a representation of one universal faith. The Math celebrates all
faiths equally and is visited by people from all over the world to seek
spiritual fulfilment. Even the architecture of the temple speaks volumes about
its non-sectarian and spiritual approach. Our erstwhile President, Dr. A. P. J.
Abdul Kalam had mentioned Belur Math as the place of heritage and National
importance.
Conceptualized and founded by sage Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa’s chief disciple, Swami Vivekananda at the turn of the twentieth century, the Math exercises the principal ideology of ‘selfless service of God in man.’ The Math is spread across an area of 40 acres, surrounded by manicured gardens and palm trees. The campus includes individual temples dedicated to Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, the wife of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda with their respective relics enshrined and the central monastery of the Ramakrishna order.
