    This is the birth place of Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay a great Bengali Novelist and the author of Vande Mataram the stirring song of the independence movement of India. The house has been saved from total ruin and houses a library and a research centre. It is accessible from Naihati station by Toto. Very peaceful and the building is now well maintained with a garden. Worth seeing.

    It is the birth place of Rishi bankim Chandra chattopadhyay . If you want to go here , at first you have to be go platform no. 5 sides road . Then you have to be go south side of the road , then you can found a college which is named over by Rishi bankim Chandra's name ,RBC college . Then you can ask anyone and after some time you can found this . The place is so beautiful and there is a museum of bankim Chandra chattopadhyay . Visit this place

    I don't think I need to write a few words about Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay here, as one can google more than I can write. This place is equipped with a number of things to showcase that would attract visitors. Along with Bankim Chandra himself there are some things that commemorate some other pioneer Bengalis of his time. But the management and the maintenance is not up to the mark. Hopefully these will improve gradually. This place is worth a visit from peoples love Bengali Literature and contemporary history of Bengal.

    It is one of the most well maintained tourist spots or museums in West Bengal. Very nice and quiet environment. All the documents related to Bankimchandra and his belongings are neatly arranged and kept here with great care. The ticket price to enter here is very low Camera usage is charged separately. There are many things to see in the museum, many things are collected and Bankimchandra's house is also very well kept. Everything from his used couch to his daily essentials is still very well kept in his house. A separate temple has been built at the place where he was born. And there is also a huge hall room where functions are held. It is located at the edge of the station.

    It is very special experience to visit Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay 's residence and birth place. It is like a guru asram where 'Bande Mataram' took birth. Many monk of the freedom movement and a high profile intellectuals met there for different interactions. It a museum now maintained by higher education dept. Govt of West Bengal. In 1997 the then higher education minister Prof. Satyasadhan Chakraboty and the founder rector Prof. Satyajit Choudhari developed the dilapidated house of Bankim.

    House of rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadyay ,one of the famous writers of Bengal during British era.this place is situated near naihati railway station. From there it is only 5 minutes walk. There is a library behind it which remains closed on Sunday. You first have to see the museum and then can go to the main house as the tickets are given in the museum. The bedroom and it's interiors are majestic and well preserved. All over a good place to spend an afternoon.

    It was nice and great. Bengal govt,has nicely preserved its old house format with a modern building materials. Sahitya samrat Bankim Chandra ,now on verge of forgetfulness. But once you see the place,it rekindled awe amd admiration for him.It is for him Bengali literature and novels got a good start.He was also referred as the Scot of Bengal. All should see it very near to Naihati station.He was the pioneer in Bengal Renaissance.

    Museum and Residence are well maintained but the number of collection in both the places are very few. Only the bed room and labor room of the 'emperor of literature' are permitted for tourists, while the others are just key-locked! More antiques are need to attract and quench the thirst of tourists.

    (Translated by Google) This home to Bankimchandra, one of the backdrop of nineteenth-century Bengali literary-culture-aesthetic practice. This literary home is now a research center. It is still equally brilliant at the center of progress of the Bangla practice. Within the research center there is a rich library, bankimchandra and contemporary writers as well as the pen of the class, musical instruments, reading tables, and many valuable books used by the writers associated with Bangadarshan Magazine. The research center is getting richer with the approval and financing of West Bengal State Government. The books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books, etc. On some special days such as the birth and death of Bankim Chandra, Harprasad Shastri's birthday, Ramesh Chandra Majumdar's birthday organized a special discussion meeting. Apart from India and West Bengal, there are many well-known Yasha writers and professors from all over the country. We are thankful for maintaining such a literary-culture-aesthetic practice.

    (Translated by Google) The residence of Rishi Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay is located at Kanthal Para in Naihati. It was great to see Rishi Bankim Chandra's residence at Bankimchandra's meeting room, writing chair table, sitting where he used to write, birthplace, bedroom and all these things. Shortly before the lack of renovation, the house was completely abandoned. It has been some time since the government's initiative that the residence has been completely repaired. From here, there is an opportunity for research on Bankim Chandra.
