According to Sri Mahendranath Gupta, author of Sri Sri Ramakrishna-Kathamrita, Sri Sri Thakur once visited this timber yard in Belur at the request of Kapten (affectionately addressed by Thakur Sri Ramakrishna) Viswanath Upadhayaya. At that time, this warehouse for storing timber was located in the northside of the first floor of the house adjacent to the one known as old Mathbari of Belur Math. It is mentioned in the 15th volume of Sri-Ma-Darshan. The senior monks of the monastery also came to know about this from Master Mahasaya who heard about it from Sri Sri Thakur himself.
