Ananth Rupanagudi, a distinguished 1997 batch IRAS officer, recently shared captivating glimpses of Shantiniketan. In a mesmerizing post, he unveiled the rich tapestry of landmarks that define this cultural haven.

Among the highlights were visits to Rabindra Bhavan, once the abode of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore and now a cherished museum. The Uttarayan complex, another jewel, showcased Tagore’s architectural prowess, alongside his personal car preserved in a glass case.

Venturing further, Mr. Rupanagudi uncovered the soul-stirring Ghanta Tala, reminiscent of a Buddhist stupa, and the historic Sinha Sadan, a testament to philanthropy and artistry. Noteworthy was the exploration of Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen’s residence, stirring conversations and curiosity.

But the journey didn’t end there. he further delved into the spiritual heart of Shantiniketan, unveiling the serene Upasana Griha, adorned with Belgian glass, and the railway saloon, a relic of Gurudev’s travels frozen in time at Bolpur station.
