During 1853-1855, when Thakur Sri Ramakrishna (then Gadadhar) stayed in Jhamapukur, he used to come to this house daily to worship Narayan Shila (Sridhar Jiu). Many parts of this huge palace of Digambar Mitra have now been sold out. This place is now more popularly known as ‘Jhamapukur Rajbari’. In the year 1979, ‘Jhamapukur Sri Sri Ramakrishna Sangha’ has been established in this Rajbari. At present, this Sangha is run by Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Bhavprachar Parishad of Belur Math.

This house is at the corner of Guruprasad Chowdhury Lane. On 10-12-1881, Thakur graced Rajendranath Mitra’s house and danced and sang in the presence of Keshab Chandra Sen, the most prominent leader of the Brahmo Samaj. Rajendranath Mitra was a renowned figure in those days. He worked at the post of ‘Deputy magistrate’ and rose to the position of assistant secretary and finance minister to the viceroy during the English Era. He was the maternal uncle of two of the lay disciples of Sri Ramakrishna – Sri Manomohan Mitra and Ramchandra Dutta.

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.

In the year 1853, Sri Ramkumar (Thakur’s elder brother) established this school (commonly known as ‘toll’ or ‘Chatuspathi’ in those days), and taught the students in the Jhamapukur area. He had to undertake this work to meet his family needs, as they had lost their father and Sri Ramkumar was practically the bread winner of the family. The toll (school) does not exist now. Instead, there is a Radhakrishna temple (Sri Shyamsundar Jiu) at the same location, and daily worship of the deity is performed.
