Dilip Guha, New Delhi<\/strong>: Over 1,100 voices from eleven states and Union Territories came together in Chironutan \u2013 Shawto Kawntthe Sawhosro Kawnttho, a rare digitally synchronised tribute to mark the Nobel Laureate\u2019s 165th birth anniversary. From Delhi-NCR to Assam, from Karnataka to West Bengal, choirs performed the same repertoire at the same moment, bound by a shared track and live-streamed into a single nationwide chorus. The result was more than a concert. It was a cultural movement in real time.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nA Tradition Reimagined<\/strong><\/p>\n

The programme builds on a legacy that began in 2007 with Hajar Konthe Robindro Shongeet at Kolkata\u2019s Netaji Indoor Stadium to commemorate 75 years of Tagore\u2019s Geetabitan. From 2007 to 2023, the annual musical gathering brought together nearly a thousand singers at a single venue in Kolkata in a monumental celebration of Rabindra Sangeet.<\/p>\n

The programme was conceptualised and led by Arundhati Deb of Sangeet Bharati Muktadhara, a non-profit cultural institution dedicated to the propagation of Rabindra Sangeet. The organisation is particularly known for its large-scale \u201cthousand voices\u201d presentations, a format unique in India.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIn May 2024, a new format evolved. Titled Unmesh took the \u201cthousand voices\u201d concept national, connecting eleven states through digital connectivity so singers could perform in harmony without leaving their cities. In a pioneering experiment, performers from eleven states sang simultaneously from their respective venues using the same musical track and digital connectivity, allowing a thousand voices across India to unite in harmony despite the physical distance.<\/p>\n

Now in its second edition, Chironutan \u2013 Shawto Kawntthe Sawhosro Kawnttho deepens that experiment, blending Tagore\u2019s choral tradition with technology to create an immersive pan-India experience.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe initiative draws directly from Tagore\u2019s own engagement with large-scale choral forms. Instrumental arrangements were composed and directed by Sourav Chakraborty, with recitation by Sounak Chakraborty and narration by Sohini Ghosh. Seventeen of Tagore\u2019s compositions, opening with He Nutan Dekha Dik Aar Bar, were woven through the programme, with each venue streaming live to the others to reinforce a sense of shared purpose. A total of seventeen iconic Tagore compositions were presented in a moving collective performance.<\/p>\n

Delhi\u2019s Participation<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Mavlankar Auditorium of the Constitution Club of India, the Delhi-NCR chapter unfolded with 110 singers from seven cultural groups. Organised by Anondodhoni Gurugram Cultural Society, the segment brought together performers from Gurgaon, CR Park, Dilshad Garden, Greater Noida, Noida Extension, Faridabad and Ghaziabad.<\/p>\n

The groups were mentored by Mahua Ghosh, Prativa Das, Santanu Chakravarty, Subhashree Roy, Suparna Ray, Mousumi Mishra and Swarupa Mukherjee, respectively, under the guidance of master trainer Niraj Roy. Their renditions balanced classical discipline with emotional depth, reflecting months of preparation and a commitment to keeping Tagore\u2019s musical legacy alive in the NCR.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nJahanara Ray Chaudhuri anchored the Delhi event, with Nilanjan Bhattacharya serving as Pan-India Convenor and Mahua Ghosh as Delhi-NCR Convenor. For Anondodhoni, which has promoted Bengal\u2019s musical heritage in the NCR since 2014, the performance was both a celebration and a statement of continuity.<\/p>\n

A Nation Singing Together<\/strong><\/p>\n

What set Chironutan apart was its quiet ambition: to make Tagore\u2019s music a living bridge across India\u2019s diversity. Audiences did not just watch a performance; they witnessed a network of voices affirming that culture need not be proximate to resonate.<\/p>\n

Reflecting months of preparation by artists, trainers and organisers across the country, Chironutan culminated in a shared moment of artistic expression and collective harmony. Speaking after the event, Mahua Ghosh called it \u201ca powerful spectacle \u2014 a nation singing together in celebration not only of Tagore\u2019s enduring legacy, but also of India\u2019s diversity, unity and collective spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The applause that followed was unanimous. At a time when divisions often seem louder than common ground, Chironutan proved that harmony is still possible, and that Tagore\u2019s songs remain its most natural language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
