About Cossipore Udyanbati

In December 1885 the ailing Sri Ramakrishna was moved to this rented garden house at Cossipore, where his young disciples nursed him. On 1 January 1886 he blessed the devotees in the garden, a day still kept as Kalpataru Day. He died here that August. The Ramakrishna Math maintains the house, his room upstairs and the garden with its ponds.
