Borsha Mongol - Echoing Tagore's love for the Monsoons

Borsha Mongol - Echoing Tagore's love for the Monsoons

The monsoon’s natural features have an impact leading to a kind of lyrical mysticism in Tagore's compositions. This is the season when the bountiful nature unfolds her beauty, which is uniquely, captured by Tagore. A sense of limitless elation is felt through his words about the monsoons. It looks like the monsoon is not merely an experience; rather it is a symbol of life and nature intermingling together.

The vast landscapes of his family estate at Silaidaha (now Bangaldesh) and the swirling Padma river seemed to foster a sense of liberated creativity in close proximity with natural features of the monsoon. Ragas, for instance, Desh, Megh Malhar and Miyan Ki Malhar, find their way in his songs, gently fitting the wordings.

Please come and join us at The British Library for a musical evening celebrating the beauty of the monsoon season.
