In 1901 Tagore moved to Santiniketan to found an ashram with a marble-floored prayer hall—"The Mandir"—an experimental school, groves of trees, gardens, a library. There his wife and two of his children died. His father died in 1905. He received monthly payments as part of his inheritance and income from the Maharaja of Tripura, sales of his family's jewellery, his seaside bungalow in Puri, and a derisory 2,000 rupees in book royalties. He gained Bengali and foreign readers alike; he published "Naivedya" (1901) and "Kheya" (1906) and translated poems into free verse.
