Nazrul Tirtha (Nazrul Pilgrimage) is a cultural and educational center dedicated to the rebel poet Kazi Nazrul Islam.[2] The center is situated in Action Area - I of New Town, Kolkata. It is only 2.50 kilometers away from Rabindra Tirtha. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee inaugurated the center on 24 May 2014 to mark the occasion of the 115th birth anniversary of the poet.[3][4][5]
From August 2015, the center started screening films[6] and in November 2015 became a venue for the Kolkata International Film Festival.[7] Nazrul Tirtha also hosts art exhibitions.[8]
