Introduction

The Tagore family's estate country house where Rabindranath Tagore spent part of his life, wrote many memorable poems and in 1912 began translating Gitanjali into English, work that earned him the Nobel Prize. The restored Kuthi Bari now operates as the Tagore Memorial Museum under the Department of Archaeology. One of the main draws of a Kushtia trip.

Suggested time: 2-3 hours
