Very well maintained heritage house apt for the stature of our revered National icon who will never be repeated ever again in history

The place is situated just beside to pineview nursery. There is a museumin it. The staffs are good but no guide is available to describe everything. Well maintained

Rathindranath founded the mansion House

Just opposite to the famous Pine View Nursery, this house was built and used by Rathindranath Tagore, so of the great poet Rabindranath. As per a plaque at the gate, this place was built exactly 2 years after Rabindranath’s death, on 8th August 1843 (22 Shraban 1350 bangabda). The Nobel Laureate poet did select the land, but did not see the house built, and hence never stayed here. The house is named Chitra Bhanu, same as Rathindranath’s studio in Shantiniketan. Pratima Devi, wife of Rathindranath, stayed here for extended period, and set up workshops assisting local youth to be trained in craftsmanship. In 1962, she handed this institution to Govt. of West Bengal. Later, in 2018, this place was declared a heritage property. There’s a small but very carefully built museum at ground floor of this two-story house. View from the lawn is mesmerizing, and has an amazing collection of flora.

A noble place to all Bengali intellectuals, it is with memory of Rathindranath Tagore , in fact Rathindranath Tagore was there in the last phase of his life. But no museum with the history of the house is maintained. Only some old pictures print out are scattered. Most funny thing is when you enter in the museum, some teddy bears are kept in a steel rack on the left. It harts, please restore the thoughts and works of Tagores during their stay in Kalimpong.

To all the students who wants to join chitra vanu for management program please don’t be fooled by this low cost courses.the teachers of this institute are so selfish and ignorant.when you’re in institution they’ll treat you so nicely but once you’ll leave for placement they’ll never pick up your calls whatever happens to you they don’t care. because students are suffering from many problems in their placements areas. And specially don’t get fooled by their 5star hotel placement and all because you’ll be under one of the worst management company (stand worth).You’ll be treated like a dogs. You’ll be designated in different departments but you’ll be working in different departments.and main thing is that you’ll not receive any certification. You can see the proof how these teachers don’t respond to their students when they need a simple help.

Tagore was really an ardent nature lover, so he chose this place as holiday home.

It is just opposite Pine View Nursery...Here Rabindranath Tagore stayed some times now it is like ruin...Govt. should restore it properly...It is closed on sundays and one have to visit it from outside on sundays so try to avoid visit on sundays...
