| Vivekananda House |
| |
| 2010-01-12 14:43:16 |
The Vivekananda House is fascinating not only for the displays on the famous 'wandering monk', but also
for the building in which it's housed. The semicircular seafront structure was formerly known as the Ice
House and was once used to store massive ice blocks transported by ship from North America. Swami
Vivekananda stayed here in 1897 on his return from the US and preached his ascetic philosophy to adoring
crowds.
The museum now houses a collection of photographs and memorabilia from the swami's life, a gallery of
religious historical paintings and the 'meditation room' where Vivekananda stayed.
