Summary
Santiniketan is experiencing significant environmental and social changes that threaten its authenticity. Research indicates that the site's physical and cultural essence is eroding due to developmental pressures, contrasting sharply with its original vision as conceived by Rabindranath Tagore. The study employs comparative analysis, juxtaposing Santiniketan against human life cycles to assess its trajectory. Findings suggest the site has reached a critical juncture, necessitating innovative strategies to preserve its ecological richness and cultural heritage. This research underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts that balance development with the preservation of Santiniketan's unique identity.
