There are 283 songs of Tagore in the Prakriti (or Nature) section of the Gitabitan (the complete collection of Tagore songs), which are further classified into sub-sections of 6 seasons. Tagore was partial to the Varsha (or monsoon) season, which alone accounts for 115 of those 283 songs. In this program, Bodhi will present a bouquet of songs and poems of Tagore, threaded together to render various visuals, moods and emotions of the monsoon.
