On our trip to Deulti, we visited this sacred place. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is probably the most read novelist in Bengali. this is the house where he has spent about two decades, after he came back from Burmah and before settling to Kolkata. The house is quite spacious, with two floors and a number of rooms. There is a courtyard with a old paddy. The house is a typical Bangla design, with a few modern elements. Sarat Chandra's used items, his homeopathic medicines and books, his wring desk, cott, are well kept. He truly lived a simple life, you can imagine. The Rupnarayan river can be seen from the first floor verandah.
