‘Moran’s Garden’ was a riverside villa at Chandernagore in Hoogly district, West Bengal. Tagore’s brother Jyotirindra and his sister-in-law lived there. Tagore stayed with them. The boats came till the landing steps of the villa. In the late evenings, the family sat on the terrace facing the river.
A flight of stone embedded steps lead from the riverside water to a long, broad verandah of the house The rooms were not regularly arranged and all were not the same level Some rooms had to be reached by short flights of stairs. The big sitting room overlooking the landings steps had stained glass windows with coloured pictures.
The topmost room of the house was in a round tower with windows opening to every side. Nothing can be seen from the windows except the treetops and the open sky. Tagore used this room for writing poetry.
