Rabindra Sadan is a cultural centre and theatre complex in Kolkata, India. It is located on Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road in South Kolkata. It is noted for its large stage which is a prime venue for Bengali theatre and Kolkata Film Festival. It was established in 1961 to mark the birth centenary of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, its foundation was laid by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 5 August 1961, and construction was completed in 1967. The venue has since become a major hub for Bengali cultural life, hosting theatre productions, concerts, and the Kolkata International Film Festival. Named in honor of Tagore, the complex has been renovated multiple times, most recently in 2022, and continues to serve as a significant center for artistic and literary expression in West Bengal.
