Rabindranath in Central Europe (contd-1)

Continuing his tour in Vienna, the capital of Austria, he reached in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. But physical condition of the Poet was so bad that he was not able to move further. his energy was completely exhausted. He couldnot endure so much exhaustion of troubling in a hurricane tour.he was continuously delivering his lectures in different places.At last he was advised to take rest on the shore of balaton Lake.
(Lake Balaton, or The Balaton, is a freshwater lake in the Transdanubian region of Hungary. It is the largest lake in Central Europe, and one of its foremost tourist destinations.)  
He took rest in a sanatorium on the shore of Balaton Lake. Here he wrote several songs. The poet planted a tree here. It was said that the tree was still alive.
With the help of Prasanta two books, Lekhan and Baikali, was printed. The first one was done in the lifetime of Rabindranath.
