Belue Math is on the opposite bank of River Ganges as that of Dakshineshwar. I go to Dakshineshwar almost every time I go to Kolkata. However, it has been relatively less number of times that I have been to Belur Math. However, whenever my mother comes along with me to Dakshineshwar, she takes me to Belur Math as well.

Our normal routine is that we start from our home in Barasat early in the morning at about 6 AM after taking bath. We do not eat anything, not even drink a glass of water or cup of tea. We drive through Madhyamgram and then take the Nivedita Bridge to drive on Belghoria Expressway. We normally reach Dakshineshwar by around 7 AM. We finish praying and then we have our breakfast in Dakshineshwar.

By around 9 AM we start for Belur. We have to cross the Ganges and then take the side road into Belur. It takes about 30 minutes to reach Belur from Dakshineshwar. I park the car at the Parking place they have made outside the Temple premises.

We go to the temple and pray. Then we buy the coupons for the Bhog (Lunch). In Blog, they serve Khichdi, Sabji and Payash. They take Rs. 20 for the same. There is a huge crowd for the Bhog. So, we have to stand in queue for quite a while before we get our turn. The dining place is a huge hall. We all sit on the floor and eat the Bhog.

After that we drive back to Barasat via Dakshineshwar to reach home by around 4 PM.

The main Temple

The Math is supposed to have been constructed by Swami Vivekananda in memory of his guru and our guru Ramakrishna Paramahansa.

Dakshineshwar

Every time I visit Kolkata, I try to visit the Kali Temple in Dakshineshwar near Kolkata. I have been doing so since I was in college (i.e. since 1986). During my college days, whenever I used to feel like, I used to catch a bus from Esplanade and get down at Dakshineshwar Station. From there, I used to walk to the Temple.

A lot has changed over these last 30+ years. However, the visit to the…
