This is an ancestral house and the birth place of great personality of India is Swami Vivekananda. In the year 2004 this house was fully inaugurate by Ramkrishna mission Belur Math. All the rooms are decorated as museum by the history and with the usable things of the swamiji's family. They arranged a 30 mins 3D show with Swamiji's great speech of Chicago. Must recommend this peaceful devotional place for young generation. Ramkrishna Mission arrange spoken English class, computer class, yoga class, library etc. specially for students.

This a very interesting place to go. You'll know lot about swamiji. & should visit for gallery room that's amazing ❤

The ancestral house of Swami Vivekananda. This place has been restored in the year of 1999 to the current shape. This is beautifully decorated with various digital artworks to showcase the life of Vivekananda. The entry fee is Rs 10, and there's a 3D show which costs Rs 20.

We reached like 5 mins before they close for lunch time. I suggest you keep a good 40mins to 1 hour in hand if you are planning to visit. Do not miss the 15mins movie show. That’s quite inspiring. Photography is not allowed inside which may be one reason the place is so quiet and peaceful. They charge a nominal Rs30 fee which is worth it. Take a trip down the history here and you won’t regret it.

We celebrate 12 January as National Youth Day in India. It is the day to mark the contribution of youth to the society. The day is also about encouraging the youth to persevere and achieve greater goals in life. A wonderful place to visit. Clean and well - appointed, it is a moving experience. However there are 2 glaring problems. Firstly, the place doesn't have a proper reception where one can sit. The only place to sit is outside near the shoe rack. Secondly, accessing the toilet is difficult as it lies in the no - shoe zone. However, the toilets are wet and not well designed. This makes it difficult to use them with bare feet. The authorities should rectify these problems promptly.

This is the ancestral house if swami Vivekananda.A Museum is developed inside the house by Ramkrishna Mission at 2004. computer training centre,language training centre,library are present here,beside the main building. Must visited place for history lovers and devotional people. Museum time:9 am to 12 pm Then 2 pm to 5 pm Monday closed. Photography is prohibited inside.

RKM Swami Vivekananda's ancestral house cum museum is the ideal place to learn what is life and for what it is meant. It is the place where the new generations must have a visit.

Though the house was not like what is right now, the house was completely destructed in coarse of time. It is due to the immense hard works of Ramakrishna Mission that made it possible to restore the house to it's present condition. Everyone should visit it as it a cultural heritage site in kolkata. I visited the place yesterday and I assure that RKM Swami Vivekananda ancestral house will conquer everyone's heart.

Very good place in Kolkata. Swami Vivekananda 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk and philosopher. He was a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna.Influenced by Western esotericism, he was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian darsanas (teachings, practices) of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world, and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century.He was a major force in the contemporary Hindu reform movements in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission.He is perhaps best known for his speech which began with the words "Sisters and brothers of America ...,"in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893. Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta (shortened to Narendra or Naren) in a Bengali family at his ancestral home at 3 Gourmohan Mukherjee Street in Calcutta,the capital of British India, on 12 January 1863 during the Makar Sankranti festival.He belonged to a traditional family and was one of nine siblings. His father, Vishwanath Datta, was an attorney at the Calcutta High Court.Durgacharan Datta, Narendra's grandfather was a Sanskrit and Persian scholar who left his family and became a monk at age twenty-five. His mother, Bhubaneswari Devi, was a devout housewife.The progressive, rational attitude of Narendra's father and the religious temperament of his mother helped shape his thinking and personality.Narendranath was interested in spirituality from a young age and used to meditate before the images of deities such as Shiva, Rama, Sita, and Mahavir Hanuman. He was fascinated by wandering ascetics and monks.Narendra was naughty and restless as a child, and his parents often had difficulty controlling him. His mother said, "I prayed to Shiva for a son and he has sent me one of his demons".

A marvellous place to visit, Swami Vivekananda's ancestral house gives us an essence of the environment where Swamiji grew up...I suggest everyone to make a visit once...you won't be disappointed.

FOR VIVEKANAD HOUSE 5* BUT FOR THAT CITY ONLY 1 STAR.. There is no hotels for DOSA and IDLI.. till 1.5 km from that place..

Very well renovated, maintained and explained by the trustees. A complete first-hand biographical experience of Swamiji's life. All rooms and exhibits have description plaques alongside for the knowledge and convenience of visitors. The 3D show and the bookshop are added attractions. Tickets @₹30 for adults is very nominal considering the costs of the upkeep. Full support for the trustees and the very best wishes for them. Hope this historical landmark continues to be duly maintained. A must-visit for everyone.

This is the birth place and ancestral house of Swami Vivekananda who was known as Narendranath Dutta before his initiation from Thakur Ramkrishna Paramhansadev. This place is a must visit for any Indian, because as we all know that each and every Indian, irrespective of caste creed and religion has deep love ❤ and respect 🙏 in their hearts for this affectionate and beloved son of mother India 🇮🇳. His holiness took birth on 12th January in 1863 in an upper middle class family of 'Kayastha ' caste. This liberal Hindu monk earned much prestige and pride for his motherland. Thinking about the great job he had done in his short span of life that we still get astonished. His movement to promote Vedanta philosophy in the western world is well known to everyone. Social reform was in his heart, he spread a strong message to the youths of India to build a powerful and enlightened nation. Worldwide, highly regarded Ramkrishna Mission founded by Vivekananda have been working consistently as per his direction and wishes. Sadly, India lost her one of most prominent and popular son in 1902 too early 😢 😞

It is the place where Swami Vivekananda was born and brought up. It is situated at Vivekananda road near maniktala. It is a very peaceful place.

Excellent place. Thisis swami vivekananda ancestral house, which was now converted as museum. Very neatly maintained. Those powerful divine vibrations still bless us there in each room

It's one of the most significant place of Swami Vivekananda... After the restoration... It's look amazing..

Delighted by visiting the spot. 200 yrs old furniture of swamiji and his family are very well maintained. They have a light and sound show session to welcome all the visitors. But don't forget to watch the 3D show that happens in every 30 minutes interval. It is based on the speech on world religious conference swamiji attained in Chicago. Don't forget to bring children along with. A lot for them to learn.

Must visit place. Thanks to Ramkrishna Mission for the amazing restoration work which helps to get a chance to feel and go back to devine era.

The house is must visit place of all devotees who are attached to RKM and obviously for all other general people. It's situated on Bidhan Sarani. If you are going towards north from Esplanade via Central Avenue or C R Avenue, then from Vivekananda road crossing take right turn and again after going through Vivekanand road 500 mtrs max and then from Bidhan Sarani crossing left turn and go slightly forward, you will find Vivekanand ancestral house at left. It's actually a museum and it was almost demolished condition. It was taken over by RKM at 1998 and renovated completely with the 19th century materials in collaboration with ASI. If you go via personal car, you may park your car at two sides of Bidhan Sarani in front of the house.

A historic place to visit. I encourage you to visit even if you are not a religious or spiritual person. The peace and the aura of the place speaks itself as it is the birthplace of Swami Vivekananda.

Must visit place in Kolkata.
