His idea and vision have inspired millions and today The Ramakrishna Mission stands as an exemplary work of the great Monk and his brother disciples who pledged to serve the humanity selflessly. The foundation stone was laid on 16th May 1935 by Swami Shivananda. The temple was built with Swami Ji’s idea of incorporating the symbolism of all religions of the world into a unique architectural structure that will speak of Universalism of Faith.

The massive construction was done by Martin Burn & Company. The architecture of the temple is an amalgamation inspired by the architectural design of different religious faiths. The main gateway of the temple is modelled on the high temple entrances of South India with a hint of Buddhist style. The main temple’s central dome is a replica of European architecture from the Renaissance period while the floor is made in shape of the Holy Cross of Christians. The other three umbrella shaped domes are inspired by the thatched roof styles of Kamarpukur village of Bengal. The exterior walls are adorned in Ajanta styled architecture with different figurines of celestial beings. The windows and balconies remind one of the Rajput and Mughal periods. The temple is mainly built of chunar stone and cement. The height of the temple is 112.5 feet (34.3 m) and covers a total area of 32,900 sq ft (3,060 m2).
