Dakshindihi Rabindra Complex
দক্ষিণডিহি রবীন্দ্র কমপ্লেক্স
The former home of Mrinalini Devi, Tagore's wife, now a memorial museum displaying photographs of the Tagore family.
Dakshindihi Rabindra Complex lies in Phultala, about 25 km north of Khulna. It was the home of the in-laws of the poet Tagore, and it is also his mother's hometown; Tagore visited as a teenager with his mother. The house is a two-storey brick and timber colonial-style building, now a museum run by the Department of Archaeology of Bangladesh. It displays photographs and biographical materials of Tagore and his family, and the courtyard holds statues of the poet and his wife. Entry is inexpensive, and the museum is closed all day Sunday and on Monday mornings. You can hire an e-rickshaw or car from Khulna, a trip of about an hour, and it is well suited to literature enthusiasts.
