Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

House of Tagore been before. Now alas a 2 tier admission system ref ? Bengal government. So duly “ othered” as a “ foreigner “ I paid. About ? 5 times what a local pays. Mmmm. It’s quite dusty. A bit dirty. Mostly curated in Bengali. Which sort of detracts from the meaning of Tagore. Place appears not well maintained or loved. But still a little you feel his presence. Staff are bossy un engaged and grim.

Gives us a sneak peak into his life style and personality. Also provides a glorious sketch of his family. The precincts are maintained in a way to elude the aura due to the Nobel laureate. Access was a bit confusing, though

Jorasanko Thakurbari is a must-visit for anyone interested in Bengali culture and history. It was the ancestral home of the Tagore family, one of the most influential families in Bengal.Rabindranath Tagore was born, lived & died here. The ancestral home of Tagore family, now turned into a museum. It was like a time machine to look through the life & works of Rabindranath Tagore. Apart from the entry ticket (INR 20), there is an INR 50 ticket to use mobile cameras within the premises but do note – photography inside the Rabindra Bharati Museum is prohibited. Museum timings are 9 am to 5 pm but the ticket counter is closed at 4.30 pm.

The Jorasanko Thakur Bari is one of the well preserved monuments in kolkata. We visited the site couple of years back with family. It is like a slice of history. It showcase the different aspects of the day to day life of the the then Thakur family. It also showcase the life and work of our Robi Thakur. Overall it is worth a visit.

Rabindranath Tagore not only composed the National anthems of two countries (India and Bangladesh) but his genius extended to almost all branches of the Arts. The legacy he has left behind is truly for all of humanity.
Jorasanko Thakurbari is where he was born and also, the place where he breathed his last. It is a place of pilgrimage.
This was my first visit and I was really impressed by the way the building and artifacts have been preserved and presented. It opens at 10.30 AM. Parking is available in the lane leading up to the Gate...maybe 3 or 4 cars. Tickets are 30 INR each and can be purchased at the Counter at the Gate. You have to go to the Museum Office to pay Rs 50 for any camera or mobile that will be used to take photos. A tiny sticker will be stuck on the device and may be checked. Better to use only that one device to take photos. Shoes have to be removed for going upstairs. Tickets are checked at the first landing and mobiles have to be silenced/switched off. Loud voices are frowned upon and a sort of holy hush surrounds this place. It is calming...and in a way, appropriate. Apparently you can avail of the FREE services of a guide...need to ask at the Museum office. We had not known; a friendly guard told us. However, the posters and plaques are extremely lucid (Bangla and English) and a guide is not really needed..
I had read the reviews here and was apprehensive about the guards. However, although they appear to be slightly brusque not one was rude, arrogant, high-handed or surly-traits that are common enough. One of them even voluntarily shared with me lesser-known details about some portraits and displays. All the guards simply made sure that photographs were NOT taken in places where photography is prohibited (Lord! This was almost everywhere-such a pity.) The grounds are open for photography as is the Thakurdalan (Maharshi Bhawan)...but elsewhere, it is a BIG NYET, NYET, NYET! This means we will never be able to photograph Tagore's personal effects, his chairs, his table, his robes, the bed where he died and all those FANTASTIC portraits of his forebears.
The many galleries are out of bounds for the camera-happy (I am one) ...so original paintings of the Bengal school greats will have to remain etched only in memory.
This is not a place to enumerate all I saw but I may list the few things I absolutely loved.
Tagore's wife's kitchen. The Aa-tur ghor(s) or the room(s) where births took place. Rabindranath was one of 14 children who survived and his mother was not the only woman in the huge joint family. I closed my eyes for a bit and tried to go back in time and imagine how busy these rooms would have been! The Room where Rabindranath died also captured my imagination. There are paintings by Abanindranath and others of the different branches of the Tagore family. This was truly an EXTRAORDINARY family. I spent about 10 minutes reading the family tree.
So OK, I was impressed.
Now to list the few things that may be improved.
1) Making people walk barefoot is unnecessary. This is not a family home or a temple. I have plantar fasciitis and almost three hours of walking (even with socks) on hard cement floor (So pretty...old fashioned red) left me limping towards the end. There are stairs to be climbed too.
2) If photography is so strictly prohibited, what stops the Administration from publishing good quality picture postcards or sets of photos? Sonar-tori, the Bookshop here, has a pathetic collection of books . The gentleman in charge nodded and said, "Everyone asks for cards..but we have never printed any." WHY NOT?
3) There are two sets of gents toilets. One exclusively for men and the second adjacent to the one for women. Flushes work and that is about it. Proper segregation may work more equitably and be a trifle more agreeable.
4) The absolute WORST is the big MEGA STORE right across the entrance lane. I shuddered at this clash of cultures...I am sure the Tagores would never have allowed it.
Anyway, all said and done thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The architecture ensured that even as summer was setting in, there was continuous cool cross circulation. The galleries are AC-ed.
Final word: Please visit. I will make sure all my friends from outside Bengal visit at least once. This place is worth multiple visits.

It was a horrible experience. I am very disappointed with the behaviour of the security guards today when we visited the museum. As following Rabindranath Tagore's writing since childhood. I waas excited to visit here after travelling from all the way from Darjeeling.
The behaviour of the museum's security guards and staff was so rude that I refused to even enter the museum. It was difficult to navigate the museum so by mistake we entered a gate where there was no notification or barricade of "NO ENTRY", the security guards screamed and insulted us thrice even after we politely apologised to them.
After that they also asked for our mobile phone to check the gallery , we co-operated and showed them, but even after then they insulted us in front of the public over there. They have no rights to touch our phone and go through our phone's gallary. They have absolutely no manners to talk to a women.
I have been to other museums in Kolkata and heritage site, never faced this issue. I would never recommend my friends and acquaintances to come to this place and get insulted by their manerless security guards.
Who is going to compensate my time and effort?

Tagore's house served as a nerve centre of the social and cultural life of Bengal in the 19th and early 20th century.

It was my long cherished wish to visit the house of Bishyokobi in Kolkata, alas he did not know that I would come one day, so that he made the rules flexible for the visitors. It is a goverent-run national property, which has heritage value. Rabindranath, himself is not a property of India but he belongs to all bengoli speaking nationalities. The national anthem of Bangladesh is wrote by him, so we own him, we him. I was surprised by the behavior of the staff, to dishonor the emotions of the visitors. They just throw out us by telling that taking picture of the name of the house is not allowed even from a distance!
I was soo disappointed and i hppe authority provide some training to the staff on behavior change communication skill.

DON'T SKIP THIS. This is a government maintained property. Surprisingly, most of staff there are polite & encourage you to come again, unlike most govt tourist spots you get to see.

I would like to get some pictures clicked in the Thakurbari courtyard. Are there any street photographers available to do this?
Sukanya D
Calcutta, India1 049 bidrag
No, there are no photographers to take photos on commission. You are allowed to take photographs in the garden outside and the courtyard after paying the camera- usage fee. I suppose you could ask the security guards or a visitor to click your snaps (if selfies are not what you are looking for). I am guessing you could bring a photographer along...but if large photography paraphernalia is involved, taking prior permission may be wise.
Will Thakurbari be open on 1st May Sunday? Or will it be closed due an holiday?

Well, I don't think that they would specifically issue any permit. But none would stop you from clicking pictures in the lawn against the backdrop of the house. Please go to their ticketing office and confirm.
