WOX TRAVEL CONTEST | WEEK 5

Greetings friends of Steemit and WORLD OF XPILAR

On 15th of August I visited Sri Aurobindo Bhavan, 8, Shakespeare Sarani, Kolkata-700 071.

Here Sri Aurobindo was born on the day, 1872. Formerly the house no. was 4, Theatre Road, Calcutta.

There were huge gathering to celebrate at the holiplace where the one of the greatest philosopher, author, freedom fighter and Yogi Aurobindo Ghosh was born.

We spend about an hour to pay respect to his pictures and cremated remains in hollow space. There is a museum in building contained many books authored by him.

Actually he stayed in the premises upto age four only. At the age of four he was sent, with his two elder brothers Bennybhushan (1867-1947) and Man mohan (1869-1924), to the Loretto Convent School at Darjeeling,
