Tagore's Garden

A number of years ago I was fortunate enough to visit Calcutta (Kolkata) in the Indian state of West Bengal. While the city maintains much of the heritage from the British occupation, it is definitely Indian. At the time of my visit, I was ignorant of the works of Rabindranath Tagore (1861 - 1941), the poet laureat of India and the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize (for literature in 1913). His home and gardens are open to visitors where one can see his works and view photographs and artifacts of his life.
Since that visit I have come to appreciate the beauty of the works and life of Rabindranath Tagore. When in India, a trip to Kolkata (Calcutta) with an unhurried visit to Tagore's home and garden is definitely recommended.
