Dance & Tagore: A Soulful Tribute at Victoria Memorial Hall

On 3 November 2025, the elegant halls of Victoria Memorial resonated with rhythm and poetry during Dance & Tagore, a special lecture-demonstration celebrating Rabindranath Tagore’s Nobel-winning legacy. 

Organised by Victoria Memorial Hall under the Ministry of Culture, the event featured Dr. Mahua Mukherjee, a pioneering scholar and exponent of Gaudiya Nritya.

Held in the Conference Hall, the evening offered a graceful blend of movement and melody, illuminating Tagore’s timeless connection to Indian classical dance. 

The evening unfolded like a quiet poem, where thought and movement danced together. 

With Pandit Amitava Mukhopadhyay’s soulful vocals, the gentle strains of Shubhodip Chakraborti’s violin, and Ayan Mukherjee’s melodic guitar, the stage became a canvas of sound and spirit.

Joined by dedicated dancers—Dr. Satabdi Acharya, Dr. Soumya Bhowmick, Dr. Paromita Banerjee and Sayantika Majumdar—the session offered more than performance; it offered perspective. 

The lecture-demonstration on Dance & Tagore featured Dr. Mahua Mukherjee, a leading voice in Gaudiya Nritya, gracefully supported by Kumari Ashwini of Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata—together weaving poetry, rhythm and tradition into a memorable evening.
