During his stay in Jhamapukur region, Thakur visited Subodh Ghosh’s (later Swami Subodhananda, one of the monastic disciples of Sri Ramakrishna) residence at Thanthania a few times. Subodh was not born then. Later when Subodh, as a young student, came to meet Thakur in Dakshineswar, Thakur told him, ‘When I used to stay in Jhamapukur, I had visited Siddheshwari temple as well as your house so many times. You were not born then’. This old two-story house exists even today.

During his stay at Jhamapukur, Sri Ramakrishna (then Gadadhar) used to spend time in this shop on the Guruprasad Chowdhury Lane. Vaishnava Nakur Babaji was originally a native of Kamarpukur region, and was thus known to Sri Ramakrishna. This shop does not exist today.

Thakur Sri Ramakrishna used to stay with his brother in a house on the Bechu Chatterjee street, which was in this same row, just 3-4 houses away a little on the eastern side. They stayed there for about two years, from 1853 to 1855. It was a simple house with tiled hut, which was located on the north side of the road opposite to the Laha household. All those houses have been demolished and have been replaced by brick houses.

Sri Ramakrishna (then Gadadhar) came to Jhamapukur in 1853 and lived in this house for some time, where he worshiped the household deities. About a century-old Radhakrishna temple (Shyamsundar Jiu’s temple) exists today in the Jhamapukur area. The Radhakrishna idol of this temple was formerly worshiped by Thakur in Govinda Chatterjee’s house. The single-story house does exist today, but is rather very old. The Radhakrishna temple has been built exactly on the same site, where the Sanskrit school of Sri Ramakrishna’s elder brother Ramkumar Chattopadhyay was located. At the eastern end of this temple is the entrance to Govinda Chatterjee’s house.
