English
At Sri Yoga Center Ashram, we view a calendar not merely as a system of dates, but as a living tool of awareness. Our Bengali calendar integrates spiritual observances, cultural heritage, national responsibility, health awareness, environmental consciousness, and remembrance of great thinkers.
- Religious festivals and traditional bratas
- Birth and remembrance days of saints, philosophers, scientists, and national leaders
- National and international days related to health, science, education, environment, and humanity
Through this calendar, we aim to nurture a balanced life where spiritual practice coexists with social responsibility, and where time itself becomes a teacher.
Time becomes meaningful when it awakens awareness.

1) Heritage Mud-House Architecture (c. 19th Century)
The Sri Yoga Center Ashram is housed within a nearly 150-year-old traditional Bengali mud house, locally preserved and renovated without erasing its original architectural character. Although externally modest, the structure represents a vanishing construction tradition of rural Bengal.
Historical Patronage and Donation
The original construction of this heritage mud-house was funded by the late Sri Bhutnath Mukhopadhyay, the elder grandfather of the present custodian.In later years, the land and the building were formally donated for public, spiritual, and charitable purposes by late Smt. Swapna Mukhopadhyay (mother) and Dr. Gunamoy Mukhopadhyay (father), son of late Sri MohiniMohan Mukhopadhyay and late Smt. Satyapriya Mukhopadhyay.
This act of donation transformed a private ancestral property into a living institution dedicated to heritage preservation, spiritual practice, and community service.
The mud wall finishing has been executed with such refinement that it is difficult to visually distinguish it from modern cement plastering. The internal roof and ceiling architecture is particularly notable: a three-tier stepped wooden framework, uncommon in ordinary mud dwellings.
The building originally consisted of eight rooms, supported by massive wooden pillars made of Sal and Mahogany, using timber sizes that are now practically unobtainable. The roof once incorporated Rupsi Kathi, a finely knotted indigenous roofing technique derived from Bengalâs obsolete indigo-era technology.
Decorative wooden supports provided additional strength while allowing scope for craftsmanship and artistic detailing. Following structural collapse over time, one original room has been carefully preserved, with brick reinforcement added only on a single wall for stability, while retaining the rest of the structure in its original form.
The entrance door design and upper lintel motifs remain unchanged, preserving the aesthetic sensibility of the original builders. The site is maintained as a living example of indigenous construction knowledge. Even if future brick structures are added, this heritage mud house is intended to remain preserved as testimony to unknown and undocumented rural architectural techniques.
