Description:
Michael Madhusudan Dutta is one of the stirring poets of Bengali literature. This poet is very talented and honest. His immense wanderings in every field of literature. He gave two handfuls to Bengali literature. His inexhaustible creation has taken him to the stage of Bengal's legendary poet - his poems, novels, stories have been included in the list of classic creations of Bengali literature.
There was always a burning desire to see with the eyes the birthplace of that great poet of Bengali literature. But due to time constraint, he had no choice but to pour water at will. I was eagerly waiting. Last year suddenly my time and passion became one. Today I will tell you about Madhusudan Dutt's birth place, what to see, how to go and related issues.
Where located:
Madhusudan Dutt's birthplace and home is Sagardari village of Keshabpur upazila of Jessore district. "Satat O nad tumi pad mor mane satat tokar katha bhabhi e birle" through the famous line "Satat O nad tumi pad mor mane satat tork katha bhabhi e Birle" has highlighted his deep harmony with the river and nature. Needless to say, the Kapotaksha river flowing through the village of Sagardari had a profound effect on the poet's childhood and youth. This quiet green river flows right next to the poet's house.

What is there to see and enjoy
On January 25, 1824, the creator of Chaturd Shakbita of Bengali literature was born in Sagardari village of Keshabpur Upazila of Jessore district. The poet spent his childhood here. It has been named as Madhupally after building a few buildings used by the poet, Madhusudan Museum, Library, Pukurghat and Sagardari tourist center built with various memorabilia and photographs used by him and his family. For your convenience, I am telling you at a glance what to see in Madhupalli.
Building used by poet Madhusudan Dutt and his family. The two-storied building has three bedrooms on the upper floor and three rooms on the ground floor, which house the temple, museum and library.
Naughat (the then Zamindar Ghat) and wood almond trees on the banks of the famous Kapotaksha river near the house of Michael Madhusudan Dutta. Heard, the poet returned home in 1862 after his conversion to Christianity and was turned away by his family. Not being able to leave the illusion of his place, he stayed for 14 days without necessarily pitching a tent in a tree of almond trees.
The Madhusudan Library was built with various memorabilia used by Madhusudan and his family and photographs of the poet. Among the items used by the poet are chairs, cots and cupboards.
A roofless-walled room with tulsi trees in the north side of the house is a magnificent architectural style.

Michael Madhusudan Dutt had very little time to study Bengali literature. However, he created all the unique creations of Bengali literature in this short period of time. Those immortal epics have enriched Bengali literature and made this epic poet eternally memorable. Not everyone is lucky enough to see the great poet's birthplace, residence, and useful items. I don't want my precious wanderlust readers to be in that group either.
Enjoy your trip and spread that joy to everyone.
