The Muraripukar Garden was a piece of property located in "an obscure quarter of the suburb" of Maniktolla. Since the death of their father K.D. Ghose, it had been owned by Sri Aurobindo and his brothers. 32 Muraripukur Road consisted of a "rather large piece of ground", one hectare in extend, at the centre of which was a small "garden house". The place "had been allowed to run wild and a good deal of jungle had sprung up" (judge of Bomb Trial). In 1906 Sri Aurobindo had tried to sell it, but not find no one interested in a property "infested by monkeys". |

Muraripukar Garden house was a place of meeting of young nationalists which prepared terroristic acts against British rule. Sri Aurobindo knew about this but did not participate in this action. |

4 Shyam Pukur Street, Calcutta Office of the Karmayogin and Dharma 4 Shyam Pukur Lane is the address given in contemporary documents for the office of the Karmayogin and Dharma newspapers. The photograph is identified as 4 Shyam Pukur Street. It is to be determined whether the house shown is the correct one — for the Shyam Bazar section of Calcutta contains both a Shyam Pukur Lane and a Shyam Pukur Street. (1-st issue of the “Karmayogin" - 19 June 1909, of the “Dharma” - 23 August 1909) |
