Sister Nivedita House in Bagbazar is a serene haven that exudes inspiration and pays homage to the remarkable life of Sister Nivedita. This beautifully maintained house, dedicated to the disciple of Swami Vivekananda, offers a unique glimpse into her extraordinary contributions to society. Missed the opportunity to get inside because I visit at 8am and they open at 10am.

Sister Nivedita Heritage Museum and Knowledge Centre is one of the best museums I have seen till date..The museum remains open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 pm..It's a must visit for an enriching experience..Do not miss!!

My visit to Sister Nivedita house was like walking into the early 1900's. The house at 16 Bosepara lane has been really well maintained by RK Sarada Mission. It is important to note that mobile phones & bags are not allowed - No photography inside. You will be given a token for your shoes, bags etc. It's absolutely safe. There is a ticket of Rs.50 per head as entrance fee. The ticket price is absolutely worth it. There are several galleries, a lot of information has been provided using both print and digital medium. There are guides (volunteers) who will guide you through every gallery. They are warm, helpful and possess good knowledge. There is an audio visual room where you can see a small documentary on Sister Nivedita. Everything and all information from Sister Nivedita's arrival to Ma Sarada, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore visits, is well documented. You can purchase selected Sister Nivedita books from a small store along with the iconic Vajra symbol designed by Sister for our national flag. If you have a great thirst for knowledge then this is definitely the place to visit. Visiting this heritage museum reminded me of how much sacrifice Sister Nivedita made towards education in India! Sister Nivedita house is easily accessible by bus plying on Baghbazar Road, Baghbazar railway station, and the nearest metro stations are Shyambazar & Sovabazar Sutanuti.

Soothing experience. Open on weekends, from 1 pm to 5:30 pm. Entry fee is 25 for students and 50 for adults. Must visit. There are various galleries dedicated to Sister Nivedita and her works. A documentary of 10 minutes is also shown for better understanding.

Great place to experience the rich history of Indian culture .The initiation of the most well established girls school . Pros- Very very well maintained. Used so much advanced technology to enrich your experience. Polite and well educated guides who can answer any of your queries . No photography is allowed. Cons- Only cons is that it is open only on weekends.

Travelling back in time....one can sit in the same courtyard where once Sister Nivedita and Swamiji had spiritual discussions...Maa Sarada performed puja on the auspicious occasion of opening of girls' school. ...the study room where Sister Nivedita spent hours in writing her books . The staircase to the roof...where she spent time watching the moon and stars with the music of conch shells and bells which rang from the neighbouring houses at dawn as a part of sandhya aarati of the home deity.

Sister Nivedita (Miss Margaret E. Noble), inspired by the great vision of Swami Vivekananda about India and her women, dedicated her life and services to the causes of empowerment of women.As a indian one can visit this place.
