| The Belur Math as seen from the river Hugli. |
A view of Belur Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math. Founded by Swami Vivekananda, it is today a huge attraction for local people, who throng here daily in large numbers.
The Belur complex began in 1897, when Swami Vivekananda started work here. The main temple is The Ramakrishna temple, which resembles a temple, a mosque, a church if seen from different positions.
This photo is taken from a river cruise ship on the Hugli, just as the evening aarti is concluding.
