Tejaswini partnered by The Telegraph held at ICCR on February 2 was a celebration of women power and the inner strength present in each and every woman. Organised and produced by Sangeeti, an organisation that aims to promote art and culture, the evening started off with a musical performance named ‘Thakur Barir Andarmahal’ by the members of Sangeeti. This was followed by the felicitation of five women achievers who live up to the essence of ‘Tejaswini’.
Subhaprasanna Bhattacharjee, Jawhar Sircar and Tanusree Shankar were the special guests for the evening and felicitated the five women, followed by the launch of the book Dubai Heights by Aditi Chakraborty. The night ended with a powerful and moving dance drama based on five women from Indian mythology, which highlighted not only the pain and the suffering of these women but also their indomitable spirit which led them to fight back. “With Tejaswini we wanted to showcase the power each woman holds inside her and appreciate this power in the modern day world. This is an annual event by Sangeeti and is in its seventh year. Every year we try to do something new and this year the theme was womanhood,” said Sreyashi Mitra, director, Sangeeti.
