00:00My face is in the moonlight, in the sky, my face is in the light
00:22Year 1938
00:24Registration in the name of Rabindranath Thakur, WBA 8689, Humber 1933 car
00:32The car purchased in the name of the first Nobel Prize winner of Asia, is still in the collection at the Shantiniketan's Rabindra Bhavan Sangrao Sala
00:41For Gurudev Rabindranath Thakur, he bought two cars of 1933 model of Humber company, Kaviputra Rathindranath Thakur
00:49The same car was registered in the name of the first Nobel Prize winner of Asia
00:55And the two cars were brought to Shantiniketan as a pair
01:00At that time, the price of each car was 400 pounds, i.e. 5300 rupees in Indian currency
01:08But the car of Shantiniketan was the most popular, Gurudev Rabindranath Thakur
01:14This car was his favorite car, wherever he went in Shantiniketan, he used this car
01:22And at that time, in the red soil of Birbhum, which was extremely hot, he used this car to protect his hands from the sun
01:30He decorated the inside of this car with Sheetal Pati, Shilpi Kasahara
01:36At that time, the car of British company Utkrishta Man was priced at 5300 rupees in Indian currency
01:43The painter had decorated this car in his own way
01:47Japanese sculptor Kintaro Kasahara had decorated the inside of his car with Sheetal Pati
02:13There were no other vehicles available, so the car did not run
02:17So the car was very beautiful, a big black car
02:21And the inside of the car was customized, the inside of the car was decorated with a sheetal pati
02:27I don't know who did this work at that time, whether it was done by the company or by a local carpenter
02:35Because at that time, I think many Japanese carpenters came to Shantiniketan
02:41One of them is Kintaro Kasahara, who did the garden of Rabindranath
02:48His work can be seen inside the house
02:50We have heard that he used sheetal pati to decorate the Japanese house
02:59He also used sheetal pati inside the car
03:01This is very unique, I don't know if any other car in the world has been customized like this
03:08It seems that Rabindranath was such a modern person at that time
03:13We see how many cars are coming out now
03:15We see that he is doing his own color, he is doing his own interior
03:19He is making caravans of big buses
03:21How many days ago, Rabindranath customized his own car in such a unique way
03:30We have never heard that he drives a car
03:33Of course, he loved to drive a car
03:35Because there are pictures of him driving a car all over the world
03:40And there was another car of this car in Jodashakot
03:45It is very likely that it is still there, I don't know
03:48And about 12-14 years ago, a new car was customized here
03:58It can be seen from all sides
04:01But this car can no longer be found in the restaurant
04:04And there is no question of driving the car now
04:07That's how it was kept
04:09At that time, who drove the car?
04:11I don't know, Rabindranath himself didn't drive the car
04:13And there was no driver around for a long time
04:17Kabir's favorite car was with him at the end of his journey
04:21A lot of history and history is connected with this car
04:25Ravindra Bhavan's research assistant, Shashruthi Karmakar, found out
04:31The picture I am showing you is a statue of Shantiniketan
04:38He has kept his car here
04:41So when he was a little older
04:44We have seen almost all the rituals
04:47Like Shantiniketan or Sriniketan
04:51Like the annual festival of Sriniketan
04:56He used his car for that festival
05:00Here you can see this picture
05:02This is a picture of a Shantiniketan ritual
05:05He has kept the car he used behind him
05:11So we can assume that he used his car
05:16And during the rituals or Shantiniketan
05:22He used his car or used it at that time
05:26Now I am showing you another picture
05:30This is a picture of Debulina Mazumdar
05:34From 1938 to 1939
05:36I am not able to say the exact date
05:38We can see that he went to a ritual
05:42He came to Shantiniketan for a ritual
05:45He is measuring the picture from his car
05:48Like I said earlier, he used his car
05:52I know that when he was going for his last surgery
05:56That was on July 25, 1941
06:02When he was going for his last surgery in Kolkata
06:06We can also say that
06:08He used his car for the last ritual of Shantiniketan
06:15So during Shantiniketan, Gurudev used his car
06:20Yes, this car
06:22We have preserved this car in the same way
06:30The tourists who come here to see this car
06:36They are very curious
06:38They ask where is the car of the poet
06:40You all know that the poet used a car
06:47In different places of Shantiniketan
06:49Gurudev used this car
06:51Shastrik Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhash Chandra Basu
06:56Acharya Jagadish Chandra Basu
07:00The car used by Gurudev is still preserved in Rabindra Bhavan Sangra
07:07The car is still very attractive to the tourists
07:11This is all from Shantiniketan to Abhishek Dutt
