Tagore Hill
टैगोर हिल
A small hill where Jyotirindranath, elder brother of the poet Tagore, lived in seclusion in his later years, with a pavilion on the summit overlooking the city.
Tagore Hill lies in Morabadi, to the north of the city. In 1908, Jyotirindranath Tagore, elder brother of the poet Rabindranath Tagore, bought this small hill and lived here in seclusion until his death. A small pavilion called the Brahma Mandir stands on the summit, and it is said that the poet himself also came here to write. Around 300 steps lead to the top, which offers views over Ranchi and is particularly lovely in the evening. At the foot of the hill is an ashram of the Ramakrishna Mission. Entry is free.
