Tagore Hill like many of the
heritage sites is one of the most important sites of Ranchi, crafting
its heritage and also the historical as well as the cultural aspect of
the city. The Tagore Hill is located on a small hillock which is about
at a distance of about 3 km from the Ranchi General Post Office. This
hill is about 300 ft high and on the top of the hill a outbuilding is
present which has been built by drawing in the inspiration from the
designs and the construction of the medieval temples.
The pillars have been
engraved with several of the pre-historic phrases with a triangular flag
unfurled at the triangular top. Very simple to get the idea as the hill
is related to the Tagore legacy, hence the nomenclature came out to be
the Tagore Hill. A very good number of books had been written in the
calm and the serene environment of the Tagore Hill by Rabindranath
himself. Even today the top of the hill represents an area which is so
isolated from the daily rush and the pollution of the city.
The place is extremely
beautiful with all the myriad aspects of raw nature refreshing you from
the hectic and the fast city life. Nearly 200 steps lead to the top of
the hill, no doubt making the place extremely danger as well. Tourists
are always required to be careful. Tourist attraction is also a great
deal with tourists from the adjoining cities as well as from the states
of West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa etc. flocking together specially during
the months of January when the new year celebration hits the groups. The
Sunrise and the sunset views with varied angles and viewing of the sun
make this hill as the centre of attraction to several of the tourists.
When the sun descends into the city sky with its redness restored
allowing the evening to descend gradually, the scenic beauty surpasses
all the charm and beauty of the nature comes alive to its all hues
restored.
The place is also famous for the Ramakrishna Mission Ashram at the
foothills. This ashram has been a cenre of Divyayan and Agrarian
Vocational Institute. The Jharkhand government cares and maintains the
beauty and the heritage it carry forward without any charge from the
tourists and that there is no entry fee in the compound of Tagore Hill.
Apart from the scenic and the natural beauty the Tagore Hill is also the
home of ultra beautiful examples of Indian Sculptures and fine arts. The
beautiful and the rare statues of the dancing women as well as the
engravings cut on the walls are perfect examples which boasts about the
superiority of the Indian Cultural Heritage.
The place even has several
rest points where the tourists can sit at the ends of the hill under the
artificially made centres and can rest from the tiresome climbing of the
stairs. The Tagore Hill situated in this small city of Ranchi is the
perfect example of Indian heritage at its best and surely deserves
multiple visits energizing the souls of every Indian.
