Bengalis host cultural meet to greet monsoon

Bengali artistes who performed a cultural programme at Ukkunagaram in Visakhapatnam

Welcoming the monsoon season, a group of Bengalis hosted a cultural programme at the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant’s Ukku Club, recently.

The dark clouds in the horizon and pitter patter of the rain during the monsoon season had inspired many poets in Bengal such as Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, Atul Prasad and Kazi Nazrul Islam.

The songs that were rendered were a collection of songs and poems penned by Tagore, Prasad and Nazrul. The songs were embellished with the traditional dance.

The programme was directed by Agnimitra Bhattacharjee of VSP and Debalina Sarkar.
