An attempt to this end was made recently by the West Bengal Dance Group Federation to mark Tag­ore’s 162nd birth anniversary at Jora­san­ko. Kobipronam saw 31 dance reci­tals performed to Rabindrasangeet. The opening act, “He nutan”, punctuated with the recitation of “Prothom juger”, ushered in the novelty of life spirit on a sultry May evening. Bharatnatyam and Odissi movements were integrated with the Rabindrik style in the recitals of “Modhuro dhoni” and “Basonti he”, respectively. The homage also included impromptu recitals of "Ami Chitrangada" and "Trishnar shanti" by the two veteran exponents, Purnima Ghosh and Pradipta Neogi.
