Synopsis: Tagore and the River Padma, emphasises the deep-rooted connection between Tagore and the River Padma. It revolves around a time when the writer was staying by the Padma River at Silaidaha. His father sent him there to supervise their zamindari estates. It sparked his literary genius, and this musical soiree looks at a collection of letters from that time. Tagore wrote these between 1890 - 1910 as he travelled across Bengal to manage his family’s agricultural estates. He was travelling in his houseboat along the River Padma. The letters provide a vivid picture of the breathtaking Bengali countryside. They also capture the slow and quiet rhythms of village life.
