Kadambari Devi's B'day celebrations!

It was the celebration of the birthday of Kadambari Devi, sister-in-law and muse of Rabindranath Tagore that brought together the luminaries from the city’s cultural circuit at Sandre Hall on Monday.
Presented by The Times of India, the programme, Srimoti He... Bard’s Muse saw select readings and Rabindra Sangeet by Soumitra Chatterjee, Chaitali Dasgupta, Bidipta Chakroborty, Debashish Raychaudhury, Rohini Raychaudhury, Sujoy Prosad Chatterjee and Ranjini.
The evening celebrated the unsung relationship shared by Kadambari Devi and Tagore. The script was penned by Chaitalidi. Tagore’s transition from boyhood to manhood was to a great extent influenced by Kadambari Devi. There is a lot more to their relationship.
It’s believed that Kadambari Devi took her own life unable to deal with lovelornness. These facets and many more were recalled through poetry and songs,” said Sujoy, as the listeners hung on to every word that was uttered.
