Ramakrishna Mission Swami Vivekananda's Ancestral House and Cultural Centre is a museum and cultural centre. It is located at 105 Vivekananda Road, Kolkata, India.[1] In this house, Swami Vivekananda (then called Narendranath Datta) was born on 12 January 1863.[2] The house remained Vivekananda's home throughout his childhood and early youth.[3][4] The cultural centre was inaugurated by the President of India A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.[5]

History

After the death of his father (Vishwanath Datta) in 1884, Narendranath's aunt, who was living with them in that house, claimed full possession of the property. She filed a lawsuit against Narendranath's mother (Bhuvaneswari Devi) and her family.[3] Vivekananda won the case in the lower court, but the case was appealed to a higher court.[6] The case continued for many years in higher courts. It concluded only a few days before Vivekananda's death in 1902. According to the final ruling in the case, Vivekananda was awarded full legal possession of his ancestral house.

Renovation

Over time, the ancestral house of Vivekananda became dilapidated. In 1962, Ramakrishna Mission authorities decided to acquire the property and turn it into a museum. In May 1999, the Ramakrishna Mission acquired the land and the adjacent plot through the Government of West Bengal. A committee was set up for this project. The committee managed to amass a fund of ₹200 million (US$2.4 million) from Central Government, State Government, and public donations of which ₹99 million (US$1.2 million) were granted by the Central Government.[5] In 2004, after renovation, the house was turned into a museum and cultural centre.[1]

Currently, Vivekananda's ancestral home is spread over 22,000 square feet[7] and houses a museum, a research centre, a memorial shrine, a library, an English centre, a computer training centre, and a charitable dispensary. Seminars and conventions are also regularly organised here.[4] There is a Shiva Lingam located at the premises.[7]

Operationalization thus defines a fuzzy concept so as to make it clearly distinguishable, measurable, and understanda...

 

 

Huntcliff ware

Type of Romano-British ceramic A rim sherd from a Huntcliff Calcite-gritted ware vessel Huntcliff ware or more correctly 'Huntcliff-type', is a type of Romano-British ceramic. Use of the term 'Huntcliff ware' is contentious because it suggests the pottery was manufactured at the Roman signal station[1] on the east coast of Yorkshire. No kilns have been found for the calcite-gritted ware industry but an East Yorkshire source is suspected on distribution patterns, possibly in the Vale o...
