Aurobindo Bhavan is the birthplace of freedom fighter turned seer Sage Aurobindo Ghosh. The place consists of a large residential building with a sprawling campus and two outhouses. The residential building now houses the office and the outhouse on the front left, houses the library that sells books, etc. relating to the sage.On the back of the building, there is a tiled concrete block (somewhat similar to a tomb stone but not actually) decked with flowers. This place is flanked by long running porches on two sides. The entire expanse is decked with many potted flower plants.The entire environment (locatrd at the heart of the city) reminds anyone of divine serenity in contrast with the surrounding hustle and bustle. This place can bring relief, even if momentarily, from the daily drudgery of urban lifeThe place remains open from morning through evening daily with free entry.
