Sarisha Ramakrishna Mission Ashram

Located in the village of Sarisha, around 5km before Diamond Harbour on the road from Kolkata, the Ramakrishna Mission Ashram at Sarisha is a substantial and serene institution. The Mission runs a school, training programmes and agricultural programmes here, set within calm, well-kept grounds on the Hooghly bank. The ashram is a place of genuine contemplative quiet, the antithesis of the weekend crowd at the promenade, and is particularly valued by those seeking a spiritual dimension to their visit. It is a place of pilgrimage for devotees of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, and non-devotee visitors are generally welcomed with courtesy. Dress modestly and observe the ashram's quiet atmosphere.
