Rabindra Sangeet through solo and ensemble performances exploring themes of devotion, love, humanity, and nature.

Songs such as “Tumi Robe Nirobe”, “Borisho Dhora-majhe Shantiro Bari”, “Aji Bijon Ghore”, and “Amar Hiyar Majhe” drew emotional responses from the packed audience, many of whom quietly sang along.

Artistes including Jayanto Chattopadhyay, Mohuya Manjari Sunanda, Azizur Rahman Tuhin, Satyam Debnath, Senjuti Barua, Ria Chakraborty, Iffat Ara Dewan, and Priyanka Bhattacharjee took part in the programme alongside group performances by Chhayanaut members.

Meanwhile, on the occasion, a three-day programme was inaugurated yesterday at the Rabindra Kachharibari in Shahjadpur, Sirajganj -- a place deeply intertwined with the memories of Rabindranath Tagore.

Various local social and cultural organisations also arranged programmes to celebrate “Rabindra Jayanti”.

Around 11:00am, the festival at Shahjadpur was officially inaugurated by State Minister for Health and Sirajganj-6 MP MA Muhit.

In Barishal, Charukala Barishal organised a series of cultural programmes at the Ashwini Kumar Hall yesterday to mark the occasion.

The organisation also observed its 39th founding anniversary alongside the celebration.

The event began in the morning with a dance performance by students of Prantik Sangit Bidyalay. A day-long art exhibition was also held.
