This Kuthi bari was built by an indigo-planter named Shelly which was later owned by Ramlochan Tagore.

In 1892,[1] due to the erosion of the river caused by the flood, the Kuthibari was likely to disappear, so it was demolished and a new building was constructed elsewhere in the next year.

[3] Before its acquisition to the Government of East Bengal in 1947, the ownership of this Kuthibari was transferred from the Tagore family to another landlord.

He then told the government that he wanted to provide financial assistance to build a complex at the Kuthibari site.

[5] In 2018, a dam was constructed to protect Shilaidah Rabindra Kuthibari, but a part of it collapsed in the same year.

[1] In the fiscal year 2017-18, the Bangladeshi government earned ৳46 lakh by selling entry tickets to the Kuthibari.

[10] The stall of the Department of Archeology set up at the 2022 Ekushey Book Fair was modeled after Rabindra Kuthibari.
