When Sri Ramakrishna was suffering from serious illness, he was removed for treatment from the Kali Temple of Dakshineswer to Shympukur in the month of October, 1885. A little more than three months after, when it was found that medicine and diet did not effect any improvement, the devotees at the suggestion of Dr. Mahendra Lal Sarkar, brought him in the afternoon of the 11th December, 1885 to the Cossipore Garden House which stood on the broad road that ran through the northern part of Calcutta and joined the Baghbazar area with Baranagar, three miles away from the city. This garden was free from stuffy and polluted atmosphere and the devotees were extremely happy when they saw that the master was pleased to find the fresh air and solitude of the place abounding in fruits and flowering plants.
