Each act reflected the spirit of freedom, resilience, and hope that Tagore’s works inspire.
The event concluded with a medley of Tagore’s iconic songs, leaving the audience spellbound, before rising for the National Anthem — a creation of Tagore himself. The day was a moving reminder of why the Kobi Guru remains an immortal beacon in Indian literature and philosophy.
