The Rabindra-Uttarayana Complex is the essential Santiniketan stop. It includes Rabindra Bhavana, the museum devoted to Tagore, and the houses associated with his later life and work, including Udayan, Konark, Shyamali, Punascha, and Udichi.
The appeal is not only literary. The buildings show Santiniketan's taste for experiment: modest scale, handmade surfaces, and a design language shaped by climate, art, and the idea of a living school rather than a formal monument.
