Is it Santiniketan? No, it’s Lily Pool in Sarobar, silly. The green patch opposite Bengal Rowing Club resembled Tagoreland as dancers and singers welcomed spring on Sunday morning for Bosonto Utsob, as part of the Live In Lakes series. Dancers in vibrant costumes accessorised with flowers and a touch of colour on their cheeks swayed to songs of spring, recreating the colourful ambience of Holi in Santiniketan. “Lily Pool was at one time the pride of Rabindra Sarobar, which has been finally reclaimed through music and the performing arts starting with Tagore’s timeless Bosonto Utsob,” said Mudar Patherya, co-organiser, Live In Lakes.
