Bolpur (Shantiniketan) - Tagore's Land
Bolpur, which houses Shantiniketan and Vishva Bharati, Central University, is a small town - 150 Kms away from Kolkata. Situated in a sylvan setting, it attracts millions of visitors, who come to pay homage to Gurudev Tagore and touch the holy land which has been the abode of myriad artists, intellectuals, poets and painters. Among them are, to mention a few, Prof. Amartya Sen (Nobel Laureate, who grew up here as an Ashram Child), Nandalal Bose (Painter), Ramkinkar Baize (Sculptor), Satyajit Ray (film maker) and many others. Tagore spent a large part of his life here building Vishva Bharati. Hence, this place was recently visited by Gandhiji, Nehruji, Vinobha Bhave and many other national leaders. Indira Gandhi, too, studied at Shantiniketan. Vishva Bharati follows the unique practice of open air education, where students study in an open environment - even today. To its millions of visitors, Shantiniketan (abode of peace) has a mystic charm which gives "peace to the mind and relief to the soul" |
