The base camp of Ramakrishna Math and its twin association, Ramakrishna Mission is at Belur Math (in West Bengal, India).
In spite of the fact that Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission are legitimately and monetarily isolated, they are intently related in a few different manners and are to be viewed as twin associations.
