Next, one cannot overlook the scenic town of Shantiniketan. Known for its roots in music, art, and literature, the town is a sanctuary for art enthusiasts. The annual Basanta Utsav celebration exudes artistry with the townfolk dressed in shades of yellow, expressing their love for spring. Here, one can indulge in Terracotta jewelry-making workshops or just marvel at the timeless murals of Rabindranath Tagore.
