Delhi Public School Ruby Park commemorated the 165th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore with a cultural programme marked by music, dance and drama, paying tribute to the literary icon’s enduring legacy.
The celebration highlighted Tagore’s contributions as a poet, philosopher, playwright and composer whose works continue to shape India’s cultural and intellectual identity. The event opened with a floral tribute to the “Gurudev,” followed by a soulful rendition of “Mono Jaago Mongolo Loke” and “Prothom Tobo Aadi Shakti.”
A key highlight of the programme was a Bengali theatrical presentation titled “Shikhangone Mukto dharar daak,” inspired by Tagore’s philosophy of education, which emphasises learning through nature and holistic development.
The cultural evening concluded with a graceful dance performance set to “Uriye Dwaja Abhrabhedi Rathe,” reflecting themes of devotion and renunciation of worldly attachments in pursuit of the divine.
The event ended with a vote of thanks, followed by the National Anthem, a composition by Rabindranath Tagore himself, underscoring his lasting influence on India’s national identity and cultural heritage.
