Santiniketan is a residential community close Bolpur in the Birbhum area of West Bengal, India, around 160 km north of Kolkata . It was set up by Maharshi Devendranath Tagore, and later extended by his child Rabindranath Tagore whose vision moved toward becoming what is currently a college town,
Visva-Bharati University. Santiniketan was before called Bhubandanga, and was possessed by the Tagore family. In 1862, Maharshi Devendranath Tagore, while on a visit to Raipur, indicated enthusiasm for arrive close Birbhum. Santiniketan turned into an otherworldly focus where individuals from all religions were welcome to join for reflection and supplications. He established an ashram here in 1863 and turned into the initiator of the Brahmo Samaj.
