About Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti
Rabindranath Tagore, born on May 7, 1861 in Kolkata, was a poet, writer, composer, painter and thinker, affectionately called Gurudev. In 1913 he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, for “Gitanjali”. He wrote the words and music of “Jana Gana Mana”, the national anthem of India, and “Amar Shonar Bangla”, the national anthem of Bangladesh, and composed thousands of songs known as Rabindra Sangeet. He also founded Visva-Bharati University at Santiniketan.
His birth anniversary is celebrated as Rabindra Jayanti, particularly in West Bengal and Bangladesh. Because it follows the Bengali calendar, it is observed on Pochishe Boishakh, the 25th of Boishakh, which usually falls on May 8 or 9, while May 7 is his Gregorian birth date.
