These scenes remain my fondest memories of Santiniketan University City. In September, Santiniketan made it to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, a recognition honoring Tagore's philosophy, vision and works as a world university. He built an ashram including a garden and named it Shantiniketan, or “Abode of Peace”. Shantiniketan is the 41st UNESCO World Heritage Site of India. Choudhury was born and brought up in Shantiniketan and studied at Sangeet Bhawan, the music and dance wing of Visva-Bharati.
