Sonajhuri Forest and Tourist Spot near Santiniketan is a shaal and sonajhuri (cassia siamea) forest that has become famous for its weekly Saturday market (Sanibar Haat) where tribal Santali communities gather to sell handicrafts, jewellery, textiles, terracotta, and bamboo products. The market is accompanied by Baul music performances, making it a unique cultural experience. The forest itself is a peaceful retreat with dappled light filtering through the tall trees, popular for walks and picnics. The combination of tribal craft market and forest setting makes Sonajhuri one of Santiniketan's most distinctive and beloved attractions.
