Much of the appeal of Shantiniketan lies in its foundation, which we owe to Debendranath Tagore, father of Rabindranath Tagore.
India has a diverse and well-known set of places that are worth visiting for people both inside and outside the country. This may be due to the fact that these destinations are hubs of cultural activity where the rich heritage of this country is showcased in boisterous fashion, a serene getaway nestled among the many peaks and valleys throughout the land or the sprawling, towering cityscapes of some of India’s urban metropolises. However, that is not all there is to India.
India is full of hidden gems, too. The little temple towns or remote villages that barely show up on a map, each with its own unique traditions and stories. There is one such neighborhood in West Bengal’s Bolpur city that is one such hidden gem, known as Shantiniketan. Much of the appeal of Shantiniketan lies in its foundation, which we owe to Debendranath Tagore, father of Rabindranath Tagore. Their influence has turned this neighborhood into an important educational center. Stroll through its streets yourself with our Shantiniketan tour packages for 3 days.
History of the University: This University holds a great deal of importance nationally, not just because of the important personalities attached to it. The methodology of teaching at this university is entirely different from that of universities elsewhere in the country. While it has been modernized over the years with state of the art infrastructure, it still maintains the tradition of holding some classes outdoors, under the shade of a mango tree. The university is split into multiple different institutes, each specializing in a specific field of study.
