Gourhati Village

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.
