Must visit for Tagore lovers. You will get to know a lot about Rabindranath Tagore. But the staff is very rude and impolite. Photography is not allowed inside. Outside also it's chargeable ₹50. The main entrance is on the main road. Google map shows the entrance through a side road don't follow that, ask the locals for directions. The place is very well decorated and maintained.

The place is nice to chill as couple or with families.The place is an masterpiece of heritage and in every corner you will feel the age old impression of one of the greatest poet ever. Lots of interesting facts and museum to explore from.This place is open from 10.30am-4.30 pm and they are very strict with timings. Photography is not allowed inside the building but you can do it in other places.

Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home is massive and has been converted into a museum. While it's interesting to see where he lived, there's not much historical value to the contents of the museum other than pictures. They charge you Rs 20 for the ticket and another Rs 50 for taking photos which is as ridiculous as it sounds. Guards are a bit rude as well. Visit this if you are in the area and have nothing else to do.

In every official site it says it opens at 9 am, but I happened to be here at 9:40 and it was not open. They asked me to come after 10:30 am. The management here didn’t even allow me to wait in their compound when asked if I could wait inside. A bit disappointed with the management, but it’s definitely a great place to explore! A place where great bits and pieces of literary history lives on. The ticket was 20₹ to enter the museum. Taking pictures inside the museum is restricted, however you are allowed to click pictures outside the museum in the lawns and the courtyard if you get a 50₹ ticket. Your gadget is stamped with a sticker. Definitely worth a visit for literary folks out there!

It is the house in which the poet and first non-European Nobel laureate, Rabidranath Tagore was born. It was built in the 18th century by Prince Dwarkanath Tagore (Rabindranath Tagore's grandfather). It is currently located on the Rabindra Bharati University campus at 6/4 Dwarakanath Tagore Lane Jorasanko, Kolkata 700007. Distance between Howrah Railway Station and Jorasanko Thakur Bari is 5Km and from Sealdah Railway Station approx 3Km.  It offers details about the history of the Tagore family. Rabindra Bharati University organizes regular cultural programmes on the poet’s birthday, Panchise Baisakh, and on other occasions, such as his death anniversary, Baishe Shravan. Every room, every picture, every object in this place has his memory associated with them. The atmosphere was very peaceful. There are two new galleries - about Poet's association with Japan and China. Jorasanko Thakurbari is a historical and cultural treasure in Kolkata. Must visit it.

Absolute 5 star for this place. The ticket price is Rs 20. Extra 50 rupees ticket needed for clicking pictures except inside the museum. The entry is from the west side of the building. In the Google Map it is given wrong. This place also serves as Ravindra Bharati University as written over the gate. Small place as a museum. But has lots of items to see. Only few that is one or two original clothes are preserved. A hall is there with large oil paintings. The family tree looks amazing. There are Chinese galleries, where, I saw Chinese visitors accompanied by local Chinese speaking guide. There are Thai and Japanese galleries too. You can go up to the second floor. Except the large courtyard there is also a smaller courtyard. There is a family Labour room. We need to open the shoes and submit large baggage for entering the museum or previous living rooms of Tagore family. Clicking pictures is strictly prohibited inside the building in spite of having 50 rupees camera ticket. You can see large proportion of Bangladeshi visitors. Also, a kind of cartoon exhibition was going on in the building just left from the gate after entering. There is also auditorium which was closed. The toilet is for free in the South side of the building.

A must visit place for every Indian. The birth place and residence of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore. As a Bengali and an admirer of Tagore, exploring his residence was a mesmerizing experience. There's a museum inside his residence which depicts the aspects of Tagore's life and his works along with his world tours. Even though some portions of his residence are under renovation, there're much more to see and experience. ❤️❤️

Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home turned museum is an absolute gem. It's not just a place to see old furniture and dusty portraits; it's a vibrant journey through the life and achievements of this iconic Bengali author. The exhibits are well-curated and engaging, bringing Tagore's story to life with personal belongings, manuscripts, and interactive displays. What I found truly inspiring is the focus on Tagore's global connections and his role as a bridge between Eastern and Western thought. You really get a sense of his vast influence and his enduring legacy.

This place has a story to tell. Individuals who can connect to our Great Poet Rabindranath Tagore, will pay a visit. Every wall every corner has a story. My mother being an ex-student, I had the urge to visit and experience the charm where this Great man had once lived. Recommended for enthusiasts.

It's really a heart touching and life time experience for us. We became imotional specifically in the room where our Great Poet breath his last. Thepoet last moments description seems live to me. My wife and daughter and our relatives and friends are eager to knows more about it.

Very calm and serene. It's so much like a bhool bhulaiya inside! We could gather a lot of knowledge about the great poet. Photography inside the museum is not allowed. Outside the museum, if you want to click pictures, they charge Rs. 50 for each gadget. For students, the price of the ticket is 10 rupees; for adults, 20 rupees. One should also keep the vaccination certificate in their mobiles.

serene atmosphere and fun to explore...would suggest it as a place for a family outing rather than one with friends however. well preserved house and interesting artifacts galore. light and sound show is great but it's not held in the monsoon season, so best to go from Nov-June. Have to pay Rs. 50 to take pics. Staff are quite helpful.

Our heritage has been preserved well. This place is well maintained and every corner has a story. It will take at least 2 hr for you to explore the entire rajbari. Inside photos are not allowed. Outside you can take pictures. The nearest metro station is Girish park. It's just 7 mins walking distance from the metro station. Do visit in the winter season you will love it!!

This is the ideal place to visit which is filled with Vintage Bengali aesthetics... The entry ticket costs Rs 20/ person. Mobile photography is allowed but not inside the museum, costs Rs 50/ device. It's a must visit for the students who are studying this area of History.

Jorasanko Thakur Bari is located in Jorasanko, North Kolkata, is the ancestral home of the Tagore family.One of the most historical places to visit in Kolkata.The museum beautifully showcases Tagore's life and works.

Sitting in my newspaper office opposite St. James' Church I would often let my imagination run riot. The  twin spires of the most elegant of churches of Kolkata built in 1862 the spires dominated the skyline of the locality known as Jora Girja -জোড়া গির্জা. It was indeed built to replace an older one of the same name which was situated near Amherst Street. This earlier church, built in 1829 appears to have fallen into a state of disrepair and was declared unsafe for divine worship. It was decided to abandon any attempts to repair the Church. The church authorities, therefore, resolved to build a new church in a more convenient locality and, in conjunction with it, a school for the children of the neighbourhood. The project for building the new church got support and backing of Archdeacon Pratt, a keen educationist, who, with his influence, was able to acquire the garden house of Mr. Coates together with its spacious grounds for the purpose. At the same time, a smaller house on the grounds was also acquired for the residence of the Chaplain.  St. James school and Pratt memorial school are a testimony to Archdeacon Pratt's foresight. On school holidays one can visualise the old City and the time when there were people who could translate their wishes for the community with ease.

A beautiful experience you can have if you go there. Entry prices are 20 Rs for adults and 10 Rs for students and if you want to click photos inside the premises , then you have to pay 50 Rs seperately per device. So , very minimal and affordable cost to spend some beautiful moments out there. The ambience is so good that you will feel that peaceful vibe which will captivate you. Inside the Tagore's House it's a huge place and you will require some time to roam around and observe the whole area meticulously. You will be wondered and astonished for sure. So , if you are in kolkata , the city of joy and have some time , then take a look 🤗. Happy Exploring ✌🏻

The place is very beautiful and well maintained, but some parts are still under construction. The photography authorization charge is 50/- for ground floor, which I think is too much, because there is nothing much to see on the ground floor. And there is no photography allowed in the museum on the first and second floors. So photography charges should be kept accordingly. As it is the birthplace of Rabindranath Tagore, it would have been better to have some memorabilia of his birth and contemporaries. Mostly memories of his middle life and last life.

Jorasanko Thakurbari is a must-visit for anyone interested in Bengali culture and history. It was the ancestral home of the Tagore family, one of the most influential families in Bengal. The house is now a museum that showcases the lives and works of the Tagores. The museum is well-organized and informative. It has a variety of exhibits, including personal belongings, furniture, and artwork. There is also a section on the Tagore family's involvement in the Indian independence movement. I highly recommend visiting Jorasanko Thakurbari. It is a great place to learn about Bengali culture and history. The museum is well-maintained and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

it’s a birthplace of robidronath thakur.it’s a very beautiful place located in Kolkata. Jorasanko Thakur Bari in Jorasanko, North Kolkata, West Bengal, India, is the ancestral home of the Tagore family.

It was a wonderful experience to visit the ancestral house of the Tagore's turned into a museum. It is within walking distance from Girish Park metro station. Tickets are 20/- each, children till 10 years exempted. Each of the room caters to a theme and are studded with rare invaluable pics and notes. It easily consumes half a day for a casual Tagore lover to delve into these. It was an exhilarating experience to say the least. Limited car parking is available, but if one has an option it is better to take the public transport route.

Thakurbari is like heaven for people with a literary background. The authorities are doing their best to maintain this heritage. Some new corners are added. The guards are very helpful. They can guide and are very good in telling the stories of every single thing. Foreign visitors can get an English-speaking guide The entry fee is only 20 rupees. One thing that disappointed me was the office in the basement of the house. It is not related to maintenance or any department related to the heritage site. It's essential to ensure that all aspects of the heritage site are properly maintained and managed to preserve its significance for future generations.

Visit this place if you want to know about history of kolkata and Rabindranath Tagore. This place offers you lots of interesting knowledge about Rabindranath Tagore and his contemporary time. If you interested about the history of kolkata you must visit this place.

27th Dec 2020: Its just closed due to covid. And the authorities couldn't even make that clear on Google maps and other suitable platforms that they'll remain closed. Quite frankly, the lack of information isn't in favour of the people coming from far away places. :/ Sometime in Dec 2018: Great place, definitely bring in children and teenagers to learn about Kaviguru. Note: they don't allow to click photos for free.

Very old church..... good maintained...... heritage of Calcutta..... place for peace and worship to almighty God.....i just love the place.... perfect place for meditation....I go there to purchase some books... because Christian book fair 2019 organized by Bible society of India...

Jorasanko Thakur Bari  in Jorasanko, North Kolkata, is the ancestral home of the Tagore family. It is the house in which the poet and first non-European Nobel laureate, Rabindranath Tagore was born. The house has been restored to reflect the way the household looked when the Tagore family lived in it and currently serves as the Tagore museum for Kolkata. It offers details about the history of the Tagore family including its involvement with the Bengal Renaissance and the Brahmo Samaj. Apart from the heritage routine, Rabindra Bharati University organizes regular cultural programmes on the poet’s birthday, Panchise Baisakh, when thousands flock to Jorasanko Thakur Bari,and on other occasions, such as his death anniversary, Baishe Shravan. Jorasanko was one of the 31 thanas then recorded. Amongst the institutions in Jorasanko are – Adi Brahmo Samaj, the Jorasanko Bharati Natya Samaj, the Kalikata Haribhakti Pradayani Sabha, the Minerva Library and Oriental Seminary. Rabindra Bharati University, the third university in Kolkata, was set up in 1962 in the Tagore family's house at Jorasanko, primarily as a centre for music and fine arts, but extended subsequently to arts and humanities.

This place is seren, beautiful and reminds you the old Calcutta. You get lost in the history and enjoy the classical music & songs that are played. It's a heritage of knowledge. You experience the history of Dr Rabindranath Tagore relationship with Chinese, American & Japanese. The entry fees is Rs 20 for adults and Rs 10 for Children. Photographer is allowed only outside the premises with a charge of Rs 50

This place gives you a nostalgic feeling overall. Seeing the rooms where Rabindranath once stayed is so satisfying. If you reach here early in the morning, around 10.30-11:00 AM, the crowd will be less and you can enjoy the peace here. The entry fee is Rs 20. (For students -Rs 10 only if you show the id card) . Paying Rs 50 to take photographs only on the ground floor is not justified I felt. Otherwise it is a divine feeling to just sit on the thakur dalan, or stand on the balcony of thakurbari.

The museum beautifully showcases Tagore's life and works. Any Tagore lover can spend 4 or 5 hours easily going through the various galleries displaying Tagore, his family and artifacts from various countries that he visited over the years. The museum in recent times has expanded the number of galleries and they well maintained. There's really a lot to see here and one can visit this museum again and again if only to be inspired by The Guru's life and works.

A wonderful place of interest in this City of Joy. The museum houses a lot of artifacts, all maintained quite nicely. Faint Rabindra sangeet is constantly being played, which adds to the vibe of the place. For all Rabi Thakur anuragis, this is a must visit in the city. And in this era of pandemic, protocols are being followed nicely.

Whatever I say about this house will be less. Such a beautiful house has increased our love for Rabindra. I myself fell in love with this Thakurbari as I went to fulfill my wife's long-standing hobby. We went from the neighboring country.

An absolute treat to go here and read all about the life and times of the great poet, the great man.

The ancestral home of Tagore family, now turned into a museum. It was like a time machine to look through the life & works of Rabindranath Tagore. One need to buy tickets in order to enter here(As of September 2023 the ticket price is 20/- and for students it's 10/-). To capture photos you need to pay 50/- to the authority. Photography inside the upper floor is strictly prohibited. Very relaxing place to spend some time in the afternoon.....

Was really a nice experience to visit the rich heritage. Really had a splendid day.. Was a blissful experience to visit the house of KOBIGURU RABINDRANATH THAKUR

This is the only place where you can take photographs but you have to buy tickets for clicking photos.... And there is another set of ticket for entering the thakurbari but photography is prohibited there.... And at this point of time due to the pandemic one must be fully vaccinated and carry their final vaccination certificate(soft copy) otherwise one can't get a entry here...

The place is worth seeing with Rs. 10 tickets for students and Rs. 20 tickets for general. The paintings and other historical things are just amazing. But one issue is we have to take off our shoes outside. No camera is allowed inside the main building but you may dare to take out your phone in presence of 4 CCTV cameras in one small room resulting in your phone being snatched.

It's an ancestor home to the Tagore family. Now turned into a museum. Rabindranath Tagore's life and death is well explained in the museum. The house depicts bengali culture. One would feel like they have travelled back to many years while being at this place. There are different galleries at the meusem Chinese, Thai and Japan which shows the relationship of Tagore with these countries.This place will be open only at 10:30 am though it is mentioned it will be open at 9am. And We have to buy a ticket for ₹50 in order to just click pictures outside the property. Clicking Photos are not allowed inside.

Loved the visit. We had lot of young (12 - 18 yrs) international visitors, so we requested for a guide from their information office. The guide spoke eloquently in English and narrated us through historical times. Highly recommended visit. I was surprised that lot of my local friends did not know of the museum.

The place is of historic value for Bangla literature enthusiasts. The multi talented Rabindranath Tagore passed his life in this very same ground. The museum is kept as the house was lived room by room. Many unknown pieces of information were brought to my attention after visiting this place. Highly recommended place for the history and literature enthusiasts.

You will be impressed by the collections of Tagore hand-writing drafts if you’ve read some of his poetry. I was very touched by the letter to Gandhi. He revealed his ambition to making India better. You can’t get pictures inside. The only way to see is come by yourself. Remember to wear thick socks becuz the floor is cold and hard and it must be visited without shoes. Oh, young Tagore is handsome and talented >\\\<

A historical place to visit. You'll get to know more about the noble prize winning poet from here. He spend his last stage of his life and took his last breath here in this house. If you're a fan of the poet then you'll find so many interesting thing around here to gather knowledge. Facts about this place : you're not allowed to take pictures inside. You can only take picture from garden area and for that you've to pay 50 rupee for the phone or camera you'll use to take pictures. And ticket price is 30 rupee for entrance.

Birthplace of Ravindranath Tagore

Vintage

Beautiful church located near Moulali, Kolkata. The ambience and the beauty of the place is very charming. One of the oldest church in Kolkata. The church is open to all irrespective of any religious belief. To be very specific, it is located beside St. James school. For tourist, this is a must go place.

I have rated it so that I can review it. FYI: It is closed since March 2020 due to Covid. Google shows it's opened but it's closed. I hope it saves time for a few people.

Such a historic place! As Tagore grow up there.. but very disappointed due to the behavior of the security… not professional… very funny thing to know about for taking outside photos you have to pay 50 rupees and entry fee is 30 rupees! Inside photo is strictly prohibited… it’s okay 👍

Revisited the past with this awesome place. A must go if you want to learn more about Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home and his family. It's pretty difficult to reach there with maps, you'll have to ask the locals. It takes around 2 hrs to tour this place. Most of the time will be spent in the Museum. Overall you must visit this place to get to know more about Rabindranath's lifestyle, outfits, books, rooms etc.

Several times I visited this place . But never capture a photo . Because I always enjoyed this ambience . But this time I captured . As usual it was a mesmerising experience ❤️❤️❤️

Nice place

Nice environment and beautiful museums are time worthy

beautiful house of the Thakur paribar.

This place is closed for tourists as of 30th January, 2021 due to pandemic. Confirm once before you visit there.

I remember going to this church as a kid for founder's Day. It was the church we shared with St. James. Surrounded by a well kept garden it stood tall with all the arches and tall twin spires. The interiors are equally elegant. There's a spiral staircase leading to the floor above which was always reserved for the less fortunate middle school students who were way too excited about being present to bother about the heat(no fans) :D The sunlight filtering through the coloured glasses makes a very quaint,colourful halo on the floor. Imo it's definitely one of the prettiest churches in Calcutta. Do visit if you haven't :)

Just amazing, nice place..

St. James' Church in Kolkata, India, is one of Kolkata's most elegant churches. Built in 1862. the twin spires of the St. James' Church dominates Kolkata's skyline. It is popularly known as Jora Girja, literally meaning twin church for its twin spires. The present church was built to replace an older one of the same name which was situated in Nebutolla Lane, near Amherst Street. This earlier church, built very much after the style and plan of St. Thomas’ Church, Free School Street, was consecrated by Bishop Reginald Heber on 12 November 1829. It appears to have fallen into a state of disrepair, due chiefly to white ants having eaten into the beams, and was declared unsafe for divine worship.

Stands proudly at the side of the road

Nice place full of serenity, you can sit and pray to jesus if you are in trouble or cannot concentrate on your work. There is nice garden where you can find duck, parrots, rabbits etc. It is nicely decorated church i have ever seen!

Jesus , i love you ❣️

Couldn't go inside the place due to Covid restrictions. The place looked beautiful from outside and could only imagine how great it would from inside. This is the ancestral place of Rabindranath Tagore. The museum contains a family tree which we missed. Apparently every Tagore family memeber had a part to play in the Renaissance. An example of it is Thakurbari women bringing a change in the way saree is draped. They have immense contribution in the very fabric of Bengal culture

One of the best place in kolkata to visit, located near Girish park metro station. Very well maintained. 👍

Never thought I would get a chance to visit this place. Very nicely maintained. Few of the rooms of thakur himself will make you feel his life story. I felt humbled here. If you get a chance please visit this.

We got a special permission to have our pre-wedding shoot at Thakurbari. A very special place and event in my life. Please visit the heritage thakurbari and the museum as soon as it opens to the public.

This place can make you fall in love. What a beautiful place it is. The soft Rabindra Sangeet playing in background as you walk inside the rooms. It's beautiful.

If you have love for literature then you'd have to visit this place at least once! This place will surely blown away every literature lover. Even I'd prefer every Bengali's should have visit this place! They can find an unbound connection with the ancestral house of Tagore.

Marvelous place. So peaceful and serene place. Sri rabindranath tagore ancestral house converted into museum. Every room where he lived is still spreading the same spirit and make our hearts automatically sync with the peacefulness of that great person

Captures the spirit of North Calcutta, the rich heritage and culture of Bengal. Some people reside there who have no connection to the Tagore family. Beware of them. But really nice place though.

A beautiful experience you can have if you go there. Entry prices are Rs.20/- for adults and Rs.10/- for students and if you want to click photos inside the premises, then you have to pay Rs.50/ separately per device. So, the very minimal and affordable cost to spend some beautiful moments out there. But the staff is very rude and impolite. Previously it was under Rabindra Bharati University but now it is completely a museum. Here you can find rooms used by Rabindranath Thakur and his other family members and many articles, a car used by Tagore.

Beautiful. So well maintained and so well explained. This place is absolutely not to be missed when you're in Kolkata, esp for history lovers, you're going to be in for an absolute treat! Opens at 10:30am, entry fee is Rs. 10 and phone camera fee is Rs. 50! Parking for 4 wheelers is also available.

One of the best place for visite.The place is nice to chill as couple or with families. The place is an masterpiece of heritage and in every corner you will feel the age old impression of one of the greatest poet ever.Lots of interesting facts and museum to explore from. This place is open from 10.30am-4.30 pm and they are very strict with timings. Photography is not allowed inside the building but you can do it in other places.

Maintenance is too good. All places and things are labelled. There is a peacefulness in everywhere. There is many people but there is pin drop silence also. Entering into this place you may proceed back to 100 years ago. Photography is strictly prohibited 📵📵 in the museum, outside photography charge is 50/- per camera/ mobile. Must visit for one time. Ticket price is 10/- for students(must bring your id card).

The ancestral home of the renowned poet-laureate has long been converted into a museum celebrating his life, achievements and impact on humanity. Although photography inside the building is not allowed, one can take pictures from the outside. The mansion or thakurbari is built like those of the landed gentry from times past, with different wings now converted to displays of Tagore's family, achievements, travels and compositions. This place is practically a pilgrimage for Bengalis and Indians alike. Be prepared to spend a couple of hours immersed in the history of his travels to various countries.

Nothing to say specially about this place. If u know Tagore u know....this is not a place but an emotion for us. Here you'll get to know about his family, well being, his artistic career, his connections with other famous people, his achievements, the very lifestyle, the ethnicity of Kolkata and many more things. RBU is there. There are museums also. I could only gather this much photos because taking photos are prohibited in there. You'll have to pay for a ticket worth Rs.20 to get in there. And visiting hours are from 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.

The name itself is romantic & evokes a sense of nostalgia. Jorasanko Thakur Bari is the ancestral house of the Tagore family. Rabindranath Tagore was born, lived & died here. Jorasanko Thakur Bari is a priceless heritage remnant. It’s constructed in the typical Bengali style. You will love the bright green & red facade! The Museum within, commemorating the life of Rabindranath Tagore, is called the Rabindra Bharati Museum. Apart from the entry ticket (INR 20), there is an INR 50 ticket to use mobile cameras within the premises but do note – photography inside the Rabindra Bharati Museum is prohibited. The Museum comprises galleries related to Rabindranath Tagore & to the Tagore family. In the galleries related to Tagore, you’ll find his possessions, photographs, sequence of events leading to his illness & last days, his relations with countries like China, Hungary, Japan & the USA. In the galleries related to the Tagore family, you’ll find family ancestry & photographs, Bengal School paintings, & Tagore house portraits. You can do justice to the Rabindra Bharati Museum only if you’re ready to invest at least three hours. As you tour the Museum, there are security guards who guide you on the right path & ensure there’s no noise/ unruliness. A couple of galleries had captions only in Bengali, making it difficult for non - Bangla speakers to understand.

A place to visit must, to know about the lifestyles, vision of a novel laureate of this sub continent. Surprisingly the authority will not allow you to take pictures with paying fees for a camera or Mobile. I disagree with this.

It's easily accessible and properly marked on Google Maps. You have to buy an entry ticket. There are extra charges for camera but it's better NOT to pay it because you won't be allowed to take any pics in the museum galleries upstairs in any case. You can easily take pics of the main building from outside without paying for camera. If you pay, all you will be allowed to click is the inner courtyard. There is a lot of info about the family in general in the galleries, some furniture, crockery, and personal belongings. Paintings are mostly replicas barring the huge oil paintings of the family patriarchs. You have to take off your shoes downstairs to visit the upper floors. It's good for a day out in winter for locals and for outsiders who might want to know more about Tagore.

Birthplace of the legend Rabindranath Tagore. Now controlled and maintained by Rabindrabharati Biswabidayalya. Here you can found every little details about Tagore family.

Security guards behave terribly. They should learn manners. We bought an extra ticket for photography but constantly asking about the tickets every few minutes is irritating.

That's place that i never seen .I like and respect Rabindranath tagore and all of his things 💖💖

Great place, having historical values, especially for Tagore lovers.

Tagore place

(Translated by Google) Rabindranath Tagore cannot be found here (Original) এখানে রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুরকে খুঁজে পাওয়া যায় না

Historical place... If you want to know tagore, definitely go there

Nice Place to have some good time with Rabindra Sir...

You will get mental peace there. Every Indian's must visit to see the magnificent poet deeds and his contribution.

Jorasanko Thakurbari is the ancestral home of the Tagore family located at Jorasanko in Kolkata. This is the house where Rabindranath Tagore was born and spent most of his life. The building is now houses the Rabindra Bharati Museum. This is an exciting place to visit, especially for lovers of history and Bengali literature. The place is the most popular tourist attraction in Kolkata.

Its a must visit for anyone and everyone who is a Tagore Fan. Though the place is a museum now, I must say that the place is not very neat and clean. Also,the guards and the management are not very friendly.. If you know how to read between the lines. But overall, my experience was good.

Tranquil place and full of information about thakur family

It's good.

Closed at present

Peace full environment

The place is a bliss for any sane soul. I doubt there is anyone who have known Tagore, have not stood in awe and fallen in love with his romanticism. The museum is full of relics and artifacts of the great poet right from his childhood to youth, till his last days. The sheer sight of the bed in the room where he drew his last breath makes one feel surreal. Expect to witness numerous paintings by Abanindranath Thakur along with countless pictures, furniture and most importantly heart piercing words of Gurudev. The place is neatly maintained. The only nuisance is the guards yelling at people and throwing tantrums.

(Translated by Google) Closed due to COVID The palace is closed. You will come to know from afar .. otherwise you have to come and go back .. (Original) Closed due to COVID রাজবাড়ী বন্ধ আছে।। দূরে থেকে আসলে জেনে আসবেন।।নাহলে এসে ফিরে যেতে হবে।।

Love this place

Very good place.

If we are talking about Bengal and it's literature, then the first name which came into our mind is the versatile genius Sir Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore passed his whole life in Jorasanko Thakurbari. In this house not only Rabindranath Tagore but also his grandfather Prince Dwarakanath Tagore, his father Sri Debendranath Tagore and his elder brother Sri Abanindranth Tagore spent their lives. There is a museum within this house from where you can know more about Rabindranath and his life, his contribution towards our society, to our world literature. In this museum you can know more about our ancient Kolkata and the unknown history of Tagore family. At evening you can enjoy a light and sound show of Tagore family and british era with the bilingual voice of Gulzar and Soumitra Chatterjee. If you love poetry, literature, Rabindranath and Bengal you should visit this place.

Wonderfull place to visit

Good

Nice but now closed j

🙏🙏👌👌

The area should be more clean

South Dosa restaurant is the restaurant to go if you want to taste authentic south Indian dishes mainly idli, dosa, bada etc. In Dwarka sector 14 area. It's about 10 min walk from the Dwarka sec 12 metro station. Price is also very cheap and you may refer the price list in the photo. Enjoy.

One of the most historical and monumental places to visit in Kolkata. If you are interested to know about one of the most important figures of Bengali Literature and Society, this place should definitely be on your list. Guided tours are available here in multiple languages. School tours are also welcomed here.

nice place to look back

Wonderful

Due to pandemic it is closed everyday...and when will it open no idea

Great Heritage Place People and Pandits are very friendly

One of most amazing place...

Closed due to Covid 19.

Some moments are so randomly pure that they touch you only for minute..grill deep in u and then leave you teary eyed, and u’ll never know why. I think that’s what we felt at the Rabindranath Tagore House.. Every room had so much peace/ knowledge/positivity and so much for us to take that we felt like an ant in front of all his achievements.. Each of us took a corner in his huge house, only to process that such a person even existed. A big bow to all those who still make his place look like home and not one percent like a museum. In a city far away from home, i found another H O M E 🖤

Lovely place, amazing view😍

This place is very special for Bengalis and this place is very close to their heart . You'll definitely find a mental satisfaction visiting there. In the museum there are lots of stuffs related to Rabindranath Thakur. There you should definitely visit the room from where our Biswakabi started his journey of literature... If you want to take pictures, you have to take permission from the authority.

Historical place.. it's generally crowded on the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore. And really good place to visit

Nice Place.

A Pride of Bengal Heritage

The place is closed now for lockdown

Lovely 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Great place.

Tagore's place!! The museum beautifully showcases Tagore's life and works. Any Tagore lover can spend 4 or 5 hours easily going through the various galleries displaying Tagore, his family and artifacts from various countries that he visited over the years. The museum in recent times has expanded the number of galleries and they well maintained. There's really a lot to see here and one can visit this museum again and again if only to be inspired by The Guru's life and works.

Very good place ❤️

This is the birthplace of Rabindranath Tagore.

Good and historical

As the name suggests the Tagore’s house is located in Jorasanko in North Kolkata. History has it that the house was where the famous non-European poet, Rabindranath Tagore, was born. Additionally, the place was the shelter for Mr. Tagore until his unfortunate demise in 1941. There’s no better museum to learn the long history of the Tagore family than the house they lived in.

Fine

One of the cleanest church in Kolkata. Present on the way to Mullickbazar after moulali crossing. Buses available 230,ganganagar-bantala(kb21), dej medical howrah station, 202, 227 bangur bnr,etc. Roads are fairly clean and good.

The epitome of peace and tranquility from the chaos in the world.

Peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Felt blessed. Amazing place. Must visit place. Will visit again.

It's situated near entally market Nice place for visitor.

St. James' Church, also known as Jora Girja (Bengali: literally meaning twin church for its twin spires in Kolkata (Calcutta), India, built in 1862, is one of most impressive churches in the city, and the largest protestant church that can accommodate about 600 people at a time in its prayer hall. The present church, replaced the older one of the same name which was situated in Nebutolla Lane, near Amherst Street. This earlier church was built using St. Thomas’ Church as model in style and design and was consecrated by Bishop Reginald Heber on 12 November,1829. The twin spires of the St. James' Church dominated the Kolkata's skyline. The church became unsafe for divine worship due to poor maintenance, lack of funds, etc and at one state, the wooden beams and other important structures were heavily damaged because of sustained termite attack. On August 23, 1858, when the restoration work had just begun, the roof caved in, causing heavy damages. As the church was too damaged to resume restoration work, the church authorities decided to have a new church built in a new locality along with a school for children. The historical church in the past had prominent vicars such as Basil Manuel and John Perumbalath, currently Archdeacon of Barking in the Church of England. God bless all of u....

Google has given wrong timings. Absolute correct timings given here. I personally visited & confirmed. Note that. SUNDAY: 6 AM TO 11 AM AND 3PM TO 6 PM MONDAY: 6 AM TO 6 PM TUESDAY: 6 AM TO 11 AM AND 3PM TO 6 PM WEDNESDAY: 6 AM TO 6 PM THURSDAY: 6 AM TO 6 PM FRIDAY: 6 AM TO 11 AM AND 3PM TO 6 PM SATURDAY: 6 AM TO 6 PM During Christmas Eve and Christmas, Hours increased.

The present church was built to replace an older church of the same name on Amherst Street and consecrated on 25 July 1864. Walter B. Granville was the architect and it was made in English Gothic style.

Calm and beautiful place to look around when in Kolkata.

It's a beautiful church arches and spire reminiscent of European style architecture. It's stained glass panels are awesome. It's pews have individual wooden chairs which have woven seats with short stools. It has recently been renovated and conducts regular masses. It's indeed large and well maintained.

My father took me at this place when i was in class vi. It is known jora girja to all.

Nice museum. You get goosebumps as you enter the place. Its closed on national holidays and now due to covid-19

Covid-19 এর জন্যে বর্তমানে বন্ধ আছে, আসলে এটাই রবীন্দ্র ভারতী বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়, আমরা শুধু বাইরে থেকে ছবি তুলেছিলাম, ভেতরে কী আছে, সে সম্পর্কে কোনো ধারণা নেই।

Love it

Gurudev's House ..... An Ashram for us

Beautiful place for Tagore lovers...steeped in history. Entry fee Rs. 20...but the service of secutiry staff has to improve a lot.

Only coz of the heritage related to it. Couldn't go near as it was closed. But got a few shots from the gate

Nostalgic place

Our heritage, our culture, our tradition... Rabindranath Tagore is my favourite author

Awsome

The THAKURBARI is still closed due to covid. No one updated this. 😓

They don't allowed us to come in ...

It is closed since last 11 months, wrong information has shown on GPS that this place is open today.

We are much proud of our heritage. Nothing more to say. Involves a lot of emotions of Tagore family with the bengalis.

Visited today as it was shown "open" in google place but unfortunately found that "Jurasanko thakurbari" is closed since March 2020. Do visit "Vivekananda Museum aka house of Vivekananda and family" (Nearly 1.5kms from Jurasanko Thakurbari).

I seriously wonder , why I haven't been here before!?. Very well managed, due to the pandemic visitors have only one hour to view the innumerable poetry and art displayed . There are 3 galleries , and each gallery gets progressively better. Had a wonderful time. Added bonus, it does have a lane where you can park your four wheeler in peace. Now make sure, that you have at least one vaccine doze certificate ready, as you are required to do so to enter the premise .

Must visit for art and literature enthusiasts. Thrilled to be here. Got to know many new things about Kabiguru. Well maintained place with some really nice people around.

Such a nice preservation of the residence of Kabiguru in the form of depicting his life and creations... This museum is a perfect guide to venture the life of the great poet of Bengal...

They are currently only allowing entry for fully vaccinated people. The museum is very interesting and details the life of Rabindranath Tagore very well. The building is beautifully maintained.

It was great entering the house of rabindranath..for me the feeling was same as entering a temple...lots of things to see..the room where tegore born and the room where he died were reminding me the feeling of 90' s..it is really a great heritage site for me...and another thing to mention was Chinese and Japanese relax rooms...those are awesome to experience

History is attracting you to relive the novels of the greatest Rabindra Nath Thakur❤️

The house of the great Kobiguru Ravindranath Tagore, the Noble Prize winner and pride of Bengal. Over here there is display of different art, his family background, room where he took his last breathe, his visit in different countries and their details, his relation with his Scientist friend J.C.Bose, and a lot of details about his life. A great experience and a great place for inspiration. You even get to see the architecture of 16th century.

This is not just a place to visit, this is an emotion of Ours... The abode of the very famous poet, composer , lyricist, our very own Rabindranath Tagore. There is an entry fee of rs.20 and rs. 50 extra if you want to take photographs inside. So many rooms inside and the history has been uplifted beautifully. So take your time and travel in the past. There is a new covid protocol that is only 20 people are allowed inside at a time, so that creates queue outside and an even longer waiting time. So it is adviced that you reach the site early. That's it. Thank you.

Nice place to visit.. Museum is good..

Tagore was a brilliant poet and national symbol till this day. His house was amazing. Quite big. I suggest people to go to jarasanko by 3:30 . After 2hrs of touring the house one can pay 50rs for the light and sound show which is totally worth it.

Awesome place with a old Jamindar bari vibes. Every room has archived properly. As well as 50% visiting fees discount for students.

I have found my favourite place in Kolkata. It was great to immerse into the world of Rabindranath Tagore.

Jorasanko Thakur Bari in Jorasanko, North Kolkata, West Bengal, India, is the ancestral home of the Tagore family. It is currently located on the Rabindra Bharati University . It is the house in which the poet and first non-European Nobel laureate in Literature, Rabindranath Tagore was born. It is also the place where he spent most of his childhood and died on 7 August 1941.

Get to know many unknown information of Rabindranath Tagore and his family, Aesthetic visit

Everyone won't enjoy this. Only who have knowledge about Rabindra Tagore, will enjoy the visit. Entry ticket Rs.20per head for the time 10:00 to 17:30hrs. Photography is not allowed inside the building. For taking snaps of outside premises, need extra charges.

This place is very calm and have very positive Bong(bengali) vibe within the place. Its very huge mansion.You can get the ticket at the for museum and 50rs extra for specific place photography. You can take your kids and elders to spend some good quality time. You would be asked to remove the shoes just before the museum. If possible read all the notes it's very rich in information which make you feel proud for such legendary poet and country. If you read patiently then it would consume easily you half of the day of your tour. Most of the rooms have air-conditioning or good ventilation. Carry your bottled water as I didn't locate any cafeteria. Also I didn't see any restroom or baby feeding area. No designated parkings for tourist but you can ask to the security guards for help. Most of the Security guards do speak English, some have bit rude behavior though but it's up to you how you take it i would suggest to ignore. No photography allowed inside the museum.

Jorasanko Thakur Bari is the ancestral home of the Rabindranath Tagore's family. It is currently famous as Rabindra Bharati University also.It is the house in which the poet and first non-European Nobel laureate in Literature, Rabindranath Tagore was born. It is also the place where he spent most of his childhood and died on 7 August 1941. The place is a masterpiece of heritage. The overall architecture of this place is mind-blowing. And if you are a Tagore Lover then you will be able to feel him in every cover of this place. Now about my experience I personally like this place a lot. The balconies were the most fascinating place for me. The serene, calm and beautiful environment has reminded me of the old Calcutta, which I usually heard from my father. This is an ideal place for people of all age groups. The entry fee is ₹20/- per head and if you wish to click pictures then it will cost ₹50/- for every camera. Note: You can only click pictures of the premises. And they allow only still pictures.

Really a landmark to visit... You'll be surprised to see the cultural impact and the vast knowledge of art & culture... Definitely recommended to visit. Ticket ₹10 (if you're a student) Otherwise ₹30 And for photography of outside,additional ticket ₹50 (for everyone) Also it's just for information... No photography allowed inside the museum.

I visited Jorasanko Thakurbari, the historic residence of Rabindranath Tagore, and was captivated by it's old-world charm and fascinating museum. The architectural beauty of the place mesmerizing. However I was disappointed with the management's decision to charge 50 rupees fee for only outdoor mobile photography. It would have been more welcoming if photography were allowed without an additional fee.

A serene place to visit with friends and family. People like me who think of Rabindranath Tagore as one idol must visit his ancestral house to have an experience of the moments of Tagore. A pure heritage of knowledge and culture.

One of the most important historical landmarks of Bengal. Birthplace and ancestral house of Rabindranath Tagore and other notable personalities of Tagore family.
