The gates of the Math were open for visitors from 8.30am till 11am and again from 3.30pm till 5.15pm. Police were deployed on the campus, along with monks and brahmacharies, to ensure no one was without a mask and there were no huddles.

Belur Math will be open to devotees and other visitors from February 10, after remaining shut for nearly six months as a precaution against Covid-19.
Around 300 monks stay at the Math, the global headquarters of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, and close to 250 employees work there. The Math closed its gates to visitors in August after a brief reopening post-lockdown.
Sources said senior monks of the order met recently to review the situation and unanimously decided to reopen the gates to the public, but with new timings.
