Rabindra
Complex is
located
in Dakkhindihi village,
Fultala
Union
Parishad, Phultala
Upazila,
19 km
from Khulna city, Bangladesh.
It
was
the
residence
of Rabindranath
Tagore's
father-in-law,
Beni
Madhab
Roy
Chowdhury.
In British
India,
Fultala
Union
Parishad
was
a
single
village
named
Fultala
village
and
was
under
Jessore
district
of
then
Khulna
Mohakuma.
Tagore
family
had
close
connection
with
Dakkhindihi
village.
The
maternal
ancestral
home
of
the
poet
was
also
situated
at
Dakkhindihi
village,
poets
mother
Sarada
Sundari
Devi
and
his
paternal
aunt
by
marriage
Tripura
Sundari
Devi;
was
born
in
this
village.
Not
only
that
his
grandmother
Digambari
Devi
also
was
from
Dakkhindihi.
Young
Tagore
used
to
visit Dakkhindihi village
with
his
mother
to
visit
his
maternal
uncles
in
her
mothers
ancestral
home.
Tagore
visited
this
place
several
times
in
his
life.
It

been
declared
as

Gyanadanandini
Devi was
Rabindranath's
sister
in
law
and
was
the
wife
of
his
brother Satyendranath.
She
had
very
close
relation
with
her
brother-in-law
Rabindranath.
During
the
1982
Puja
Vacation,
Gyanadanandini
Devi
went
to
Narendrapur
in
Jessore
to
visit
her
Ancestral
home,
but
the
main
purpose
was
to
search
for
a
bride
from
nearby pirali
Brahmin family.
With
Gyanadanandini
Devi,
Kadambi
Devi,
Balika
Indrani,
Balak
Surendra
Nath
and
Rabindranath
also
came
to
see
the
old
Vita.
From
there
they
went
to
Fultala
(Daksmindihi)
to
visit
the
bride,
the
daughter
of
Binimadhab
Roy
Chowdhury;
Bhabratini.
At
age
22,
Rabindranath
married
Bhabratini
on
9
December
1883
at Jorosanko.
Later
she
was
introduced
as
Mrinalini
Devi.
It
is
assumed
that
the
father
of
Mrinalini
was
involved
in
supervising
the
business
of
the
Tagore
family.[4]
According
to
Rabindranath's
biographer
Prasanta
Kumar
Paul's Rabindra
Jiboni (The
Life
of
Rabindranath),
Rabindranath
married
Mrinalini
Devi
on
9
December
1883.
His
father-in-law
Benimadhab
Roy
Choudhury,
a
landlord
from
Jessore,
lived
in
Kolkata.
His
son
Narendranath
Roy
Choudhury,
better
known
as
Felu
Babu,
would
visit
their
lands
in
Dakkhindihi.
Felu
Babu's
sons
stayed
at
this
building
prior
to
partition.
Before
permanently
moving
to
Kolkata
in
1940,
Felu
Babu
and
his
wife
gave
their
property
to
a
landlord
named
Bijankrishna
Das
as
an
exchange
settlement.
Naib
Nabakumar
Mustafi
was
in
charge
of
the
house
and
property.
Bijankrishna
Das
left
the
county
in
1965.
Naib
Mustafi's
whereabouts
are
unknown.
The
house
was
taken
over
by
others;
7
September
1995
the
two-storey
building
was
recovered
from
land
grabbers.
In
1995,
the
local
administration
took
charge
