Summary

Santiniketan is revealed as a dynamic cultural landscape that embodies the philosophical vision of Rabindranath Tagore. This study demonstrates how Santiniketan serves as a spatial manifestation of universal humanism, blending education, culture, and nature into a cohesive paradigm for place-making and cultural sustainability. Through archival research, spatial analysis, and interpretive frameworks, the study uncovers the interplay between constructed forms, creative expressions, and environmental elements that create its distinct cultural milieu. It also highlights contemporary challenges posed by commercialization, modernization, and shifts in cultural memory, offering a critical perspective on the site's evolving identity.
