Tabo Jayagane 2025 was presented by the Sahay Foundation at Rabindra Sadan in Kolkata. The evening unfolded as a sincere invocation of the Goddess through music, poetry, and performance, conceptualized by Srijan and Mounita Chattopadhyay.

Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay’s “Amar Durga” and a magnificent hundred-voice chorus started the event. This was followed by a lively musical performance by Vidushi Haimanti Shukla, Srabani Sen, Alok Roychowdhury, Pousali Banerjee, and Shovon Ganguly.

The Srijan and Mounita production “Durgotsav,” which depicted Durga Puja as Uma’s perpetual homecoming from her arrival to her farewell immersion, was a big highlight. With stirring performances by Debatrityo, Aritra, Trisha, Manali, Tisha Roy, and the group Gandharbam, the reinvented Mahishasuramardini captured the essence of the renowned broadcast for a new audience.

The evening came to a close with Srijan Chattopadhyay’s eagerly anticipated Mahishasuramardini recital, whose moving performance signaled to the audience the real start of the holiday season.

Debanjaan Deb, the chairman of the Sahay Foundation, and Dr. Abdus Salam Shaikh, the secretary, attended the event.

Tabo Jayagane 2025 left a lasting cultural impression as a unique fusion of respect, artistry, and tradition.
