Have feet will travel. An ex-development sector professional, Elita had a job but quit it to work to travel i.e. going where the road takes her and taking the road along (accompanied mostly by her wits). A compulsive blogger, trained counsellor and new-ish at being a facilitator, she considers herself a #multipotentialite. Elita blogs at https://nomadicthunker.blogspot.in/

If the Rabindra Bhavan is a way of living the poet’s life vicariously through his belongings that have been preserved, Uttrayan Complex makes that experience even more intimate. The complex includes five of Tagore’s houses – Punascha, Shamali, Konarka, Udichi, and Udayana. Udayana is where Tagore lived.

The art gallery and museum within the Complex have imitations of paintings and sketches made by Tagore being sold to visitors. The place is closed for visitors on Wednesdays.
