Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's house |
Around 1 and a half hour’s drive from Kolkata (50 kms), is Deulti in Howrah district of Kolkata. It is a quiet place, and a perfect getaway for a picnic or a day's outing.
Deulti is well-known for Bengali novelist Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's house which is in a nearby village Samtaber.
Just across the house, a short distance away, flows Rupnarayan river.
I fell in love with the beautiful house, not only because it was where Sarat Chandra spent a lot of his time, but also because of the history of the place, and the serene and peaceful surroundings.
Some of his famous works, among many, are -
- Parinita
- Devdas
- Srikanto
- Choritrohin
- Bordidi
- Mej Didi
