  • I visited during Covid times, so much of the university grounds was closed to visitors. However the canteen was open and so was certain sections that I managed to get photos of. It’s just beautiful...

  • In the lap of nature, it is unique in its nature. The frescoes on the walls of various departments in the Ashram area are worth visiting. The glass temple, the chhatimtala, the amra kunja, the bakul.....  more

  • Superb location for the Literature and History lovers... And those who are coming for Acadamic purpose too.. Rest of the people plz stay away... Dont make this place noisy!! Most of the People who comes here either doesn't know What is Santiniketan or never Interested in Knowing what it is!
  • It has huge historical importance. This could have been managed in a better systematic way for tourist. We drove from Kolkata and reached there by 10:15 am. However last 5 km within bolpur, google map was not efficient as it took me to very narrow road. Finally we took help of local Toto driver to reach safely. There was not enough marking and signage for car parking and tourist destination. There was not good restaurant nearby nor drinking and washroom facility for common people nearby to Shantiniketan or Visva Bharati. However people are gentle and nice. Overall environment pretty calm and quite with scenic beauty and serene divinity of green nature.
  • Visva-Bharati is one of the greatest University in India...❤️ It's a cultural heritage,you will find some of the best artworks here... Very peaceful,good environment,well maintained...👍 One of those place where you roam alone and you will never feel bored...🙆 You will fall in love with this place for sure...🤗
  • Totowala's brother smiled sweetly and said, "Didibhai, have you visited the museum?" I immediately remembered, "If I didn't come to Santiniketan and go to Visva-Bharati, what else did I do?" Run Toto Visva-Bharati, I shouted. Totovai Sumon played the role of guide. The journey started with seeing a 180 year old banyan tree. Then, one by one, Toto crossed the sixth floor, the synagogue, the building, and proceeded towards the museum. I entered the museum after crossing the garden with the entrance fee of 60 rupees per person. There are many prizes, gifts, spectacles, painting tools and other items used by Ravi Tagore in his memory, genealogy of Thakurbari and personal correspondence.
  • Great campus 37 acres of land Please get a tour guide (toto wala)if interested in knowing the history of Visva Bharati university
