letter on experiencing life concerts of rabindrasangeet
Answers
Though the 158th Rabindra Jayanti was on May 9, the event had to be postponed due to damage caused to the auditorium by cyclone Fani. The event started with income tax commissioner Sarat Das and Odissi Guru Ratikanta Mohapatra lighting the inaugural lamp and garlanding the statue of Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore.
“We have been organising Rabindra Jayanti in Bhubaneswar for the past 33 years. Our organisation has been trying to propagate Rabindra Sangeet and create awareness about it among non-Bengali communities and next generation. In this event, we had individual Rabindra Sangeet recitals and a chorus, poetry recitation in different languages and a dance drama. People are showing a lot of interest and it feels great organising such events,” said Sudhansu Marik, secretary of the organising club.
