Shillong pays homage to Tagore

Shillong: The pristine hill station, which was one of Rabindranath Tagore's favourites, paid homage to him on his 164th birth anniversary on Friday, through songs, dances and seminar, reports Manosh Das.

The poet had visited the city thrice and had composed some of his literary masterpieces such as Raktakarabi and Yogajog, during his stay in the hills. Cultural programmes to mark Rabindra Jayanti were organised in several localities of the city, including at the Bangiya Sahitya Parishad premises at Jail Road.
