Bangalore, Oct.16 (ANI): Residents of Bangalore paid tribute
to renowned Nobel Prize winner Rabindratnath Tagore at a community Puja pandal
during the ongoing Durga Puja festival.
The Sarbanjanin Durga Puja, a charitable trust, has paid
tributes to Rabindranath Tagore in a bid to remember the renowned Nobel Peace
Prize winner.
“Tagore’s birthday is May 9. So, on May 9, 2011 he will be
completing 150 years. But we thought that during Durga Puja when all people get
together is the right time to remember him,” said A.L. Roy, member of the
organising committee.
The committee constructed a pavilion beside the huge Puja
Pandal of goddess Durga. The pavilion known as ‘Thakur Bari’, the birthplace of
Rabindranath Tagore had showcased different aspects of Tagore’s life. Many
photographs of Tagore’s young, middle and old age were being displayed at the
pavilion.
Besides theses photographs, rare paintings and few letters
written by Rabindranath Tagore to different famous world personalities were
also displayed.
The most attractive feature of the exhibition was the family
tree of Rabindranath Tagore.
“It is a very good attempt of bringing Rabindranath Tagore’s
creativity. I really enjoyed and I was in Shantiniketan last year and it got me
the same nostalgic feeling,” said Deepak Ghosh, a visitor at the pavilion.
The motive of the trust was to mark Tagore’s 150th birth
anniversary, which would be celebrated next year and make young generation
acquainted with the life and work of the renowned Nobel Peace Prize winner.
