Lonely Planet review for Belur Math

This attractively landscaped riverside religious centre is the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Mission. Amid the palms and manicured lawns, its centrepiece is the unique 1938 Ramakrishna Mandir, which somehow manages to look like a cathedral, Indian palace and Istanbul’s Aya Sofya all at the same time. That’s deliberate and perfectly in keeping with the message of 19th-century Indian sage Ramakrishna Paramahamsa who preached the unity of all religions.
