Jayrambati
জয়রামবাটী
The hometown of Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother; her Mother Temple and the thatched house where she lived for years are pilgrimage sites for Ramakrishna's devotees.
Jayrambati is the hometown of Sarada Devi, wife of Ramakrishna, whom devotees revere as the Holy Mother. The Ramakrishna Math has built the white Matri Mandir (Mother Temple) at the site of her birth, and the temple houses the mud hut where she lived in later years, her bedroom and her everyday belongings. The atmosphere is even quieter than in Kamarpukur. During her birthday festival in December (the month of Poush in the Bengali calendar), large numbers of pilgrims arrive. There is a midday closure, and visitors must remove their shoes and dress modestly. It is about 5 km from Kamarpukur and 40 km from Bishnupur, and the two places are usually visited together on a half-day round trip.
