Paragraph 9

In plain words

East of the chandni and the twelve temples lies a paved courtyard of brick. In the middle of the courtyard stand two temples side by side. The temple of Radhakanta stands on the north, and just south of it the temple of Mother Kali. In Radhakanta's temple are the images of Radha and Krishna, facing west. One climbs steps to enter, and the floor is laid with marble. A chandelier hangs in the hall before the shrine; it is not used now, so it is kept wrapped in red cloth. A gatekeeper stands on guard. So that the deity may not suffer in the western sun of the afternoon, canvas screens are provided, and the row of arches along the hall is covered with them. In the south-east corner of the hall stands a great jar of Ganges water. Near the threshold of the shrine, in a vessel, is the holy water from the Lord's feet, for devotees to take when they come and bow to the deity. Within the shrine, enthroned, are Radha and Krishna. It was in this temple that Sri Ramakrishna first took up the work of a priest, in 1857 and 1858.
