Nimai Janmasthana or Sri Yogapitha

In 1893, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura established Sri Yoga-pitha as the actual birth site of Lord Chaitanya’s appearance. It is one kilometer from The main gate of Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir. Inside the temple, on the right side is a small shrine where a deity of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura is worshipped.

Inside Yogapitha temple there are three altars:

• Sri Radha Madhava and Lord Chaitanya
• Sri Gaura-Narayana with Lakshmipriya, Vishnupriya and the Adhokshaja Vishnu Deity worshipped by Jagannatha Mishra
• Sri Pancha-tattva and Sri Jagannatha

The neem tree where Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared is on the right side of the temple and a small mud hut with deities of Jagannatha Mishra and Mother Sachidevi holding young Nimai on her lap. Just behind the mud hut is a temple with two Shiva-lingas. A temple of Sri Gaura-Gadadhara and Sri Lakshmi Nrisimhadeva is on the back of the temple area. A Gaura-kunda, excavated by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura in 1920, is also within the complex.
