Arogya Niketan (lit. 'The House of Cure') is a 1953 Bengali novel by the Indian writer Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay. Set in rural Birbhum, it portrays the psychological and philosophical tensions between tradition and modernity through the aging Ayurvedic healer Jiban Moshay, whose self-reflection and rivalry with a young doctor expose deeper fears of death, obsolescence, and generational change. In 1955, it won the Rabindra Puraskar and in 1956 the Sahitya Akademi Award. Later, it was adapted into a 1967 film by Bijoy Bose.
