Very well maintained house of the legendary artist and literary great. Spent some time there and was truly enthralled by the beauty of the place in the lap of nature as the nearby river silently made her way, bearing testimony to the glorious past when members of the Tagore family would come here to spend their holidays. Some beautiful paintings are on display as well as lots of items that this legendary family used at one point in time.

If you are fond of Bengali Culture & heritage, you have to be here as per your convenient timing. As the place is open for 7 days in week from 10am to 5pm, you can choose your own slot. One thing need to be mentioned, as GT road is very narrow, car parking would be a headache for self driven visitors. But the place is highly rich as being a heritage property. As the place is called Mini Shantiniketan, you won’t be disappointed. Must visit place & better to be in within 11 o’clock or after 4pm. Avoid rainy days.

The old garden house of Tagore family. It used to be a piece of secluded land hidden from the hustle bustle of the city. The municipality did a praiseworthy job by saving the heritage property. However the old charm is lost after the renovation & it has become an overcrowded commercial place in these days.

Such a nice place. One can spend quality time here. So calm and quite. Please take note that half-pant, lungi, three quarter pants are not allowed inside. Camera is not allowed. You can use mobile phones to take photos/videos. Food is not allowed inside. Rules are very strict here.

Good place, declared as 'Heritage Property'. Good view of the Ganga but there are posters of poisonous snakes! So be aware, don't go deep into bushes. Take care, happy outing 🤗

Very nice & well maintained garden house. It's a peaceful place. Entry time 10am to 5pm.

Very peaceful place and clean place beside the Ganga river. You can visit with your family. There is a little park inside for children. Entry fee 10 Rs only.

It is an amazing place, well maintained and very peaceful. A perfect location for one day trip. Greenery of this place attract me the most. The beautiful paintings told us the story of Abanindranath Tagore and his devotion for arts. This place has beautiful seating areas so you can seat and have some lovely chats and feel the breeze of the holy river Ganga.

Very nice place to stay with nature, beside Ganga river, plenty of big and old trees, fish tank, a well preserved house of Abanindranath Tagore. Opens from 10 am to 5pm. A small park is also there for kids.

Great place to go. Once 10 rupees entree fee and you can see, feel and enjoy the places where Abanindranath Thakur stayed during his childhood days. The rooms and all will give you goosebumps to think how the surrounding area was back then and how they used to live there. It was a great experience for us and would recommend everyone to pay a visit at least once.

Very nice place to spent some good time with family. This place is now restored & maintained by local municipality. Even restored, the main building needs to have some repairs again. Overall the place is nice. There is entry fee of 10 rupees. This place doesn't have parking facility for the four wheelers. So one need to park his vehicle at the GT road.

Historical place to visit with your family and friends .The garden house at Konnagar or Konnagar Baganbari is located at Konnagar in Serampore sub-division of Hooghly district.

How to reach - You can reach by taking jetty from Panihati ferry ghat to konnagar ghat and from there it is 5 mins on foot. You can reach by GT road and the entrance is just beside the road. Ambience is Overwhelming . Great for relaxing and if you are a nature lover it will be a blissful experience. The view of ganga from the ghat is thoroughly enjoying . Washroom is available .So no need to worry about that . Bike and cycle parking is avaiable at a fee of 10 rs and 5 rs . There are many artworks inside the main building. There is a small waterfall like installation which will grab your attention. There is a big fishtank with colourful fishes you can enjoy seeing. The area is moderately big so you can have a walk around the premises but advised not to step on the grass as it is prohibited. One problem of this place is it remains closed sometimes without any notice. Overall It is a place where you can relax with your family and friends in a Historical ambience which has a great aesthetic value.

Nice place for photogenic people. Will give you a nostalgic old house feel. One can enjoy the view of Ganges from this garden house which is really amazing.

It was a lovely experience visiting this place. Located at gt road, konnagar. Entry is totally free, timings are 10am-2pm & 3-5pm (daily). Amazing place to hangout with family and friends, one can sit and enjoy the calm & serenity of nature.

Entry time: 3-5pm. Allowed in time: 1 hour. Small park only for small children. Toilet available. Overall a nice place to visit. It's not a museum. It's just a renovated house.

Loved it! A pleasant surprise in konnagar area. This place was quite peaceful and well maintained. Lots of trees around, and a small part of the baadi was open to visitors as well. Ticket price is 10 rupees per person. Come here to enjoy the greenery and river view.

It's such a beautiful place to visit. but they don't maintain the schedule always and also they don't have such proper notice mentioning that they don't allow you in half pants. The caretaker/management is rude and careless somehow.

An historical place to visit. All are maintained carefully. What an excitement feeling that here the World famous Artist Abanindranath Tagore had drawn his first picture Kureghar (Hut) . As the garden is beside the Ganga, one can enjoy the beauty of a lonelyness. Security is very good. Only one should know that time is from 9am to 5pm. One suggestion to the administration that minimum one original picture of Aban Thakur is to be kept in Musium if possible.

🌞10AM - 🌙5PM Its a good place to spend your leisure time. You can bring your earphones, put them on, play music, it is so evocative. authorities still decorating this place. They do not permit vehicles inside the property. some local residents open up their grounds and charge Rs. 5/- for Cycles and Rs. 10/-for Bikes. Few fast food stall are also there.

The place is serene and plentiful, the rooms will give you a clear insight of the life back then. The environment is clean and quiet, really enjoyed visiting the place..

It is a beautifully rebuilt place. It is a great place to spend 1 day with family or friends. But everywhere written, Beware of poisonous snakes. This is a matter of concern...

This is well-kept,clean and beautiful historic site.i loved the historical explanation making the outbuildings and ground even more meaningful and educational.But kinda restricted place,only 1hr visiting time and you can't have anything inside this area that's prohibited,some places are closed also.

Loved the place. The timings are from 9-5 everyday. There is no entry fees yet the place is absolutely well maintained. Good location as it is placed just beside the ganga. Nice for family and kids hangout. There are basic play areas for the kids. All in all well maintained premise

A good place for spending may be 2 or more hours with family or friends, kids friendly ecosystem, fresh air available. But let me clear one or more thing (s) that NO CAMERA IS ALLOWED inside the campus, local guides are saying camera is allowed,but they ar partially wrong because at the entrance the authority is asking for not entering with the camera but inside there are no authority agents,so you can use the camera by breaking the rules. No food is allowed inside the campus. Mobile photography is allowed.

This is a beautiful, clean, well looked after place and the entry fee is only 10 rupees. A perfect spot for an afternoon visit with the family. It is not very crowded either. Many school kids will also love this place. The mighty river Ganges also flows next to this historical place and adds to the beauty.

It's a beautiful Historical place, beside of ganga river at Konnagar. One can visit any time of the year. Entry fees are 10 Rs. per person.

“That time in Konnagar [at the garden house] I learnt to draw a hut.” An excerpt from his memoir 'Jorasankor Dhare' (By the Side of Jorasanko). He is Abanindranath Tagore, a stalwart of Indian art. In 1834, this garden house was built. This one-storey building surrounded by lush greenery was once the Mecca of art, literature and culture of Bengal. For a long time, this house remained dilapidated. Finally, It gained heritage status in 2007. There are a small park and an aquarium in the garden. The house is decorated by several art works. Spending a winter afternoon in the house will be the ideal one-day holiday trip for the visitors. No restriction on photography. There is entry fee.

It's really awesome and beautiful place.full of greenary. well decorated. Must visit place. Look like small Shantiniketan. Spend your leisure time here.

Its a well maintained heritage place keeping the golden memories of Abanindranath Tagore. Very clean and Furnished place , its a good place to visit with Family and Friends.

Beautiful heritage property by the side of Hooghly river. Your are allowed to stay for an hour only inside the garden.Many old trees are there, the authority constantly warns the visitors be be careful about the poisonous snakes which are there inside the garden.No food items are allowed inside the garden. A small children's park is also there, I found a lot of small kids enjoying the slide and merry go round .

Really beautiful place to have an evening stroll. The garden is well maintained and maintained well. The picture gallery is not maintained well. The house itself is actually maintained well. Thanks to the west bengal government initiative the place is really being taken care of well.

A great nature surrounded place in KONNAGAR, Hooghly. Just beside the G.T. Road. You can reach there by car or from KONNAGAR station by Toto. Entry fee is 10/ person. Great ambiance. Also enjoy the view of Ganga river. Just feel the nature.
