Photograph of a white roadside signboard with a black border mounted on a bamboo post outdoors among green leafy shrubs and grass. The sign has English text and Bengali text in blue letters, with a red arrow pointing left below. The English reads that this is the family temple of the Pynes and that Ramakrishna as a boy used to frequent their house. The Bengali text gives a similar message about the place where young Sri Ramakrishna would sit in bhava samadhi while imitating Shiva. No people, deities or ritual activity are visible.
