Boshonto eshe geche at Empress Garden of Pune

The

Empress Garden

area in Camp was bustling with activity on Sunday morning as participants at the 13th edition of

Basanta Utsav

got ready to showcase their dance skills. Though the event started an hour later than scheduled, the wait was worth it as young girls, dressed up in shades of yellow and orange, started their performance on the tunes of Rabindra Sangeet. Playing with gulaal during their performances, the girls even stepped down from the stage and applied gulaal on the guests to pay their respect to them through their performances. It was as if

Santiniketan

’s Holi celebrations were revisited. Renowned Bengali singer Pramita Mallick impressed the audience with her renditions of

Rabindra Sangeet

at the event where one could hear ample discussions on

Tagore

’s literature.
