Beluṛ Maṭh is the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, founded by Swami Vivekananda, the chief disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. It is located on the west bank of Hooghly River, Belur, West Bengal, India and is one of the significant institutions in Kolkata.This temple is the heart of the Ramakrishna Movement. The temple is notable for its architecture that fuses Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist art motifs as a symbol of unity of all religions. In 2003 Belur Math railway station was also inaugurated which is dedicated to Belur Math Temple.

In the Garbha Mandira (Sanctum Sanctorum) of the Temple, Sri Ramakrishna's marble image is enthroned on a marble lotus platform with Braahmi Hansa engraved on it. His sacred Relics are preserved inside the platform... One Bhandaar (store of sacred articles) is annexed behind the Garbha Mandira bearing above the Shayan Kaksha (recline chamber) of the deity. The kitchen for preparing the bhoga (cooked food for offering), however, is at a separate place behind the Garbha Mandira... The canopy above the deity was made by a carpenter from Salkia (4 kms South of Belur Math) with a special teak wood brought from Burma (Myanmar)... The Garbha Mandira rests on a concrete foundation slab of 27 square metres area and more than 1 metre thick... Thick stone slabs, bricks and concrete have been used in the walls of Garbha Mandira and only claddings have been done with chunar sand stone... Surki (brick dust) was prepared locally and sand was collected from Magra (near Panduah) of Hooghly District... Domes have been made of chunar stone, bricks and cement concrete. Galvanised iron strips have been used to resist tensile hoop stress... The floor of the Garbha Mandira and the Nat Mandira have been laid on with white and black marble stones respectively... The Nat Mandira and the Garbha Mandira are structurally separate. They are attached to each other by an expansion joint which is not easily visible to visitors... All the doors and windows of Garbha Mandira and the Nat Mandira are made up of choicest teak wood imported from Burma (Myanmar). The work was done by Chinese carpenters and the fittings were procured from a Bombay (Mumbai) based company at concessional rates.11. Lamp stands (made of copper) on the temple platform were cast by a local artisan.. The estimated cost of the temple was six lakh rupees (1935), but on completion (1938), the actual cost came to around eight lakh rupees.13. Almost the whole expenditure of construction of the temple was borne by the generous donations from two disciples from USA...
