Belur Math, Howrah, West Bengal.
The people who are not interested in religion also come to Belur Math to experience and appreciate the peace that it diffuses into the environment, and ultimately into the inner soul. The temple is noted for its excellent architecture, which skilfully and artistically fuses Hindu, Christian and Islamic motifs together as a symbol of unity of all religions. Founded by Swami Vivekananda, a chief disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahansa, the temple is at the heart of the Ramakrishna Movement.
History of Belur Math
Upon his arrival in Colombo in January 1897 with his small group of disciples, Swami Vivekananda had founded two monasteries. One of them is the Belur Math. The purpose of these monasteries was to train young men in their work, who would, later on, become 'sannyasis' of the Ramakrishna Mission. In fact, Swami Vivekananda himself spent the last few years of his life at Belur Math.

Hey... I visited belur some days ago. Literally, it's a nice place. The environment of the place is very calm. There are many changes happened in their rules and regulations, what I didn't like. they are bound to time. of course, we appreciate that punctuality, but sometimes its very difficult for the visitors to visit in the time as they may live far away from the moth. So I was quite unhappy as I didn't get the opportunity to take prasad since it was too late.
