Gadadhar’s maternal uncle’s place is located in this village six miles east of Arambagh.

In one of the trips back to Kamarpukur, Sri Sri Thakur and Sri Sri Ma accompanied by Hriday spent three nights at this village in a newly built house of a devotee by the name Modak. In spite of reluctance of Hriday because of torrential rain of monsoon, Sri Sri Thakur stayed in Modak’s house for three nights in his newly built house to fulfill the prayer of this devotee and during his stay the local people were fortunate to listen to his spiritual talks and feel blessed.

The temple of Goddess Vishalakshmi is located in Aanur village. Once, while accompanying the women devotees of Kamarpukur to visit the temple, Gadadhar experienced Bhava Samadhi (devotional ecstasy). He became normal after the women devotees started praying earnestly to the Goddess. Gadadhar and the devotees thereafter did their darshan (auspicious sight) and puja (worshipping) of Ma Vishalakshmi and returned back to Kamarpukur.

As one comes from Kamarpukur, this village is located 6 to 7 miles east-south of Arambagh. Sri Ramasadaya Bandyopadhyay of this village was married to Srimati Sarvamangala, the younger sister of Gadadhar. Thakur’s second brother Sri Rameshwar Chattopadhyay was married to Ramsaday’s sister Srimati Shakambhari. Gadadhar once went to the village of Gaurhati and saw his younger sister happily serving her husband. The scene was so appealing and heartwarming to Gadadhar that after returning home, he drew a picture of her sister serving her husband. Everyone was surprised to see the similarity of Sarvamangala and her husband in that drawing. Sri Ramakrishna Temple and Ashrama has been established in the village of Gaurhati at the initiative of the local devotees.

It was located at the east-south corner of the crossroads where the road goes south through Hathtala in Sreepur and merges with Ahalya Bai Road.

In this temple, apart from daily worship, Jatragaan (folk theatre with music) used to be organised on special days.

লাহাবাবুদের দুর্গামণ্ডপের পূর্বদিকে ধরিয়া দক্ষিণ দিকে কিছু দূরে রাস্তার মোড়ের মাথায় ধনী কামারিনীর ভিটা। বর্তমানে এই ভিটায় একটি ছোট মন্দির আছে।

It is located on the eastern edge of Kamarpukur village. There is a small pond in its front. Banyan and other trees are there all around. Here Gadadhar used to sit alone in mourning after the death of his father Kshudiram.

It was located at Kamarpukur, some distance east of Sri Ramakrishna’s house. At present there is no other sign of a dwelling house except Bastuvita (piece of land on which the original house was made). This place has recently been taken over by Ramakrishna Math.

The house of Pynes was on the southern side of the present monastery (Ramakrishna Math Kamarpukur). Amongst them, Gadadhar used to go often to Sitanath Pyne’s house.
