What you can see and do
Rabindranath stayed in this kuthibari near the Padma whenever the Tagore family's zamindari work brought him to Shilaidaha. Much of Sonar Tari and Chitra was written here, and the English translation of Gitanjali was begun here too. The house has three storeys and a pyramid-shaped roof. It is now a museum, with his furniture and photographs on show.

About 15 km from Kushtia town; cross the Gorai bridge and go via Alauddin Nagar by auto-rickshaw or easy bike.
