Bangladesh National Museum organised a programme on Saturday at the Sufia Kamal Memorial Auditorium of the museum to mark the sesquicentennial birth anniversary of Nobel Laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore.
The programme featured poem recitation, film screening and a discussion session.
Recitation group Kanthashilan presented Tagore's popular lyrical drama Gandharir Abedan (Gandhari's Plea) in the evening.
The story of the lyrical drama revolves around the historic Kurukshetra War and the conflict between truth and relationships. The central character Gandhari, the Kaurava's mother, raises her voice against the injustice that has done to her sons.
Recitation artiste Golam Sarwar directed the production.
Zahirul Haque Khan, Ela Rahman and Enayet Kazal, Razia Sultana Mita and Omar Faruque Emon played the lead roles in the production.
The production was followed by a film screening session in which renowned scientist and photographer Nowazesh Ahmed's film Chhinnapatra, based on Tagore's poem of the same title, was screened.
Earlier, a discussion session was held at the same venue. Eminent educationist Mustafa Nurul Islam was present as the chief guest, Bangladesh National Museum trustee board chairman M Azizur Rahman and museum director general Prakash Chandra Das addressed the session. Begum Akhtar Kamal, professor of Bangla Department of Dhaka University, presented key-note paper titled 'Rabindranath Tagore's Concept on Culture' at the session.
