Puratan Bari (Old House)

Location

Puratan Bari or Old House was Holy Mother’s ancestral home in which she lived many years, about 52 years from 1863 to 1915, with her brother Prasanna Mukhopadhyaya. Old House was the original house in which Holy Mother started the initiating of her disciples and devotees. Many people received Brahmacharya and Sanyasa initiation from Holy Mother in this old house.

Holy Mother worshipped Goddess Jagaddhater in this temple. The old house is considered as a blessed place. Presently Belur Math purchased this Old House from the heirs of her brother and is maintained for the memories of holy Mother.
