Sri Sarada Devi - Altar Image - Belur Math Shrine

Sri Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother and spiritual consort of Sri Ramakrishna, is the central figure of this profound devotional photograph. Located within her dedicated temple at Belur Math, the headquarters of the Ramakrishna Order, this specific image is the primary object of daily worship and meditation. Unlike the main temple of Sri Ramakrishna which houses a marble statue, the Holy Mother’s shrine uniquely preserves the tradition of worshipping her through a sacred photograph, emphasizing her accessible and living presence. The setting reflects the deep reverence held by monks and devotees for the Sangha-janani or Mother of the Order. This photograph captures her in a characteristic pose of quiet dignity and boundless compassion. It serves as a spiritual bridge for seekers, inviting them to experience the peace and universal motherhood she embodied. Ideal for home altars, it brings the sanctity of Belur Math into one’s personal space.
