‘Samtaber’ Sarat Kuthi: The house that sheltered stories and revolution

Nestled along the serene banks of the Rupnarayan River, over 80 kilometres from Kolkata, lies the quaint village of Deulti. This unassuming hamlet holds a special place in Bengal’s literary heritage as the home of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay (1876-1938), one of India’s most celebrated and widely adapted authors. From 1926 to 1938, Sarat Chandra resided in a house he built in the small village of Samta, which he named Samtaber.
