That there are rare personalities who, in the remembrance of their names, give an image of the whole history. The poet Rabindranath was one of the first to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. Neelmani Thakur, the ancestor of the landlord family, was gifted the 5,000-square-meter complex on Chittaranjan Avenue in North Calcutta by the Seth family in the 18th century in the 18th century. The meaning of "Jora Sanko" is very interesting. 'Jora' means pair and 'Sanko' means bridge. A small stream flows between two wooden bridges. This place is also said to have got the name Jora Sanko due to the connection of Shiva temple near the house. The small identical building erected here was developed by Prince Dharkanath. He was the grandfather of Rabindranath. The street is named after him, "Dharkanath Tagore Lane". In the name of Maharshi Devendranath Tagore, the father of the poet, a huge building stands at this place where Rabindranath was born in 191. This is where they grew up, breathed and merged into the soil here in 181. What is it in this land that draws fans to itself like a magnet? Is it just literature, is it just painting, sculpture, music and fine arts? Oops! There is also a beautiful museum, archive and educational center - Rabindranath Tagore University!

A grand entrance adorning the alley

Let's take a look at the architectural yet arrogant palace architecture of K Vivar, the arched scarlet - as if turning the door that looks like a whole street bar before looking at it. The words are engraved in the bungalow on a circular arch of red stone in place of the toran "Jora Sanko Thakur Badi. Ravi Thakur's flower-wallari, fishes, various birds, geometric patterns, mosaics, chakras, waliyas, peacocks, aquarius in the middle of the bow, lotus-petals wrapped around and welcoming the top rasikas at the top. . Logged in? In front of this, a luxurious 'Red Mansion' - a villa named 'Maharshi Bhavan' stands amidst greenery. Which was originally the original home. Over time various wings and corridors were added which matched beautifully with the original architecture. In the end, Rabindranath Tagore added a new dimension to it. "Vichitra Bhavan. "This section, built in the colonial style in the early twentieth century, has a peculiar classical meaning. The site, formerly the residence of the Tagore family, is today a museum and a part of Rabindranath Tagore University. Educational work is also going on in other buildings in the campus. What is the first impression of this palace which is an "archive" on the first floor? Here, the section called "Bethak Khana Badi" gives credence to the visas of artists and revolutionary heroes from home and abroad.

British influence can be seen on the landlord's popular palace and its gates

At first glance the dark ocher color of the palace gives a first floor to the first and second floors with a color floor. In the front verandah of the trio, the twin red columns seem to be a unique necklace. It looks like a sack that encloses with a drawstring. Even the twin pillars touch the ceiling, there is also a small white crown! Between the columns, the thin curtains of white latticework, the thin curtains with geometric patterns seem impressive! Green mesh at the top and green mesh curtains adjacent to the ceiling. After the courtyard with a large lawn, the entrance is also wide! In the midst of so many entrances, a round, mighty wind blew. As well as white arches, vertical white columns and white geometric edges on the roof. A similar wing "Palacial Brick" can be seen at right angles to the sunbeam design meaning Ravibabu's name on the arches. There are also large tall gigantic twin columns that are rarely seen in any architecture. The long facade inside welcomes us. Family portraits in the facade, life size portraits, poetic portraits from the hallway to the aura of red smooth pillars! An exhibition of Ravi Babu's journey as a thinker as well as a poet. Ther Ther Anglo Indian style white marble artistic sculptures are also true - which keeps the hallway full. The place also has 2021 books, 20 journals, 4 pictures and hundreds of personal items and furniture. The entire building has horizontal white plaques on the pillars.

Apart from this, the white square of the palace has preserved its majestic personality. Its columns are also in pairs.

A stem-like structure with round petals, including white arches, columns, latticework, and fine artistic phulkari is eye-catching. The square is famous for its music meetings, discussions, other activities and sunbathing. The room where Gandhibapu saw the 'Dakdar' sitting with the play poet is still alive today, including the ancient Dankedar clock, royal pomp and decoration. The "light and sound show" of chandeliers and lanterns is not to be missed.
