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.

Nather Bagan is presently located in the Sobhabazar region of North Kolkata. In 1853, when Sri Ramakrishna (then Gadadhar) accompanied his elder brother Ramkumar Chattopadhyay to Calcutta for the first time, they stayed here temporarily for a few days. Later, they left this temporary residence, and settled in the Jhamapukur region of North Calcutta (from 1853 to May 1855). The place where they lived in Nath’s Bagan Street, does not exist now.
