Shantiniketan |
| The peaceful heaven of Shantiniketan, 136 km northwest of the city, is a world away from the clamour and grime of Kolkata. Founded by Rabindranath Tagore in 1921 on the site of his father's ashram, both the settlement, and it's liberal arts university Vishwa Bharati, were designed to promote the best of Bengali culture. |
