The 165th birth anniversary of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore was solemnly observed with profound respect and enthusiasm at the Sri Aurobindo Sakti Centre Trust, New Alipore with the School Sri Aurobindo Bal Mandir observing it on 8th May and then the Art & Music Section on 24th May (2026).

Sri Aurobindio Bal Mandir observed Rabindra Jayanti with immense pride on May 8, 2026, to commemorate the birth anniversary of the Bard. The aim was to familiarise students with his literary genius and cultural contributions. Recitation, dance and song performaces were showcased to pay tribute to Tagore. The performances beautifully reflected the spirit and message of his work.

On 24th May, the students and instructors from the Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Fine Arts, Recitation and Dance sections paid their tribute to his remarkable contribution in the fields of art, literature and culture. Under the expert guidance of their respective instructors, the students performed a selection of Tagore’s timeless creations. This special evening also featured our annual Prize Distribution ceremony of the Art Section (all divisions). Several students were awarded for their outstanding achievements in the Sarbabharatiya Sangeet-O-Sanskriti Parishad examinations for the session 2024-2025 and for their creative excellence in our Annual Art Exhibition held in February 2026.
