Vivekananda House

Vivekananda House is located right opposite Marina Beach, so the road outside is usually busy — better to plan your visit accordingly. Inside, it’s a peaceful and well-maintained place. The highlights are: 1. VR photography with Swami Vivekananda — a nice experience. 2. Museum exhibits from the time of Swami Vivekananda’s visit in 1897, along with displays related to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Hindu philosophy, and Indian culture. 3. Meditation hall, offering a calm and silent space. 4. 3D movie of Swami Vivekananda’s famous 1893 Chicago speech, which is presented very well. If you’re a follower of Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, or interested in their ideologies, this place will feel meaningful. Even otherwise, it’s a good museum-like experience and worth visiting at least once

I recently visited Vivekananda House and had an inspiring experience. The place is well-maintained and beautifully showcases the life and teachings of Swami Vivekananda. One of the highlights of my visit was the 4D VR show, which took us through Swami Vivekananda's powerful and spiritual journey in a truly immersive way. The visuals, sound, and storytelling were amazing—it felt like I was walking alongside him through different phases of his life, especially his journey to the West and his speech at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago. It gave me a deeper understanding of his vision, thoughts, and contribution to Indian philosophy. Overall, it's a must-visit place for anyone interested in history, spirituality, or just looking for inspiration. I left the place feeling motivated and proud of our rich cultural heritage.

Vivekananda House is a must-visit heritage site in Chennai, rich with history and spiritual significance. The place beautifully preserves the legacy of Swami Vivekananda and offers a peaceful, inspiring atmosphere. The exhibits are well-organized and informative, showcasing his life, teachings, and his historic stay here. The meditation room is especially calming, perfect for quiet reflection. Located right by the Marina Beach, it’s a great spot for both tourists and locals who are interested in culture and philosophy. Highly recommended!

It’s a great place with high spiritual vibes. There is a Meditation room, a VR room where you can see Swami Vivekananda’s story till he went to Chicago. There is a 3D theatre which shows the Swami Vivekananda’s speech at world religious parliament in Chicago. You can feel Swamiji’s aura present in this room when you meditate. The entry ticket is only 50₹, which I feel is very nominal. Outside there is a book stall also they run few yoga and spiritual courses as well. You can see the Marina beach from the top floor. It has got a beautiful view. Had a great experience! I would highly recommend visiting this place.

Situated opposite to the Marina Beach. This is like a museum of Swami Vivekananda, where you can see the photos with the timelines of his life. Very neatly maintained. There are are couple of theatres inside the museum where his Chicago speech, his early life are been portrayed. It will take some time in order to visit the museum. There is also a mediation hall where you can sit and meditate which is described as the place where he used to meditate when he came to Chennai. They do have a bookstore where they sell his books. The ticket charges ₹50 per head. They will also take a photo free of cost and can be downloaded from the link they provide.

Fabulous experience. INR 50 per head for the entire activity. Excellent conduct by staff. In this cost you will get a walk around,3D,VR presentations + meditation time. This is all about swami vivekananda teachings,history,his speech at America. Parking is free. Must visit if you are near to marina beach. Thank me later. No other hidden fees
