Santiniketan is a town founded on poetry. Recommended by India to the list of UNESCO’s cultural heritage sites, the town is the culmination of the vision of the poet Rabindranath Tagore, the first Nobel laureate from Asia. Santiniketan is a haven for the artistically minded. It hosts the Rabindra Bhaban Museum, the resting place of many of the poet’s original manuscripts, letters, and paintings. The poet himself founded “Vishva Bharati University” in the town to encourage young Indian minds to explore the arts. It also hosts the “Poush Mela”, an eclectic cultural fair organized in the Bengali month of “Poush” (sometime in December).
