Rabindranath Tagore, a renowned figure in the realms of literature and music, first drew breath on May 6, 1861, in the bustling metropolis of Calcutta, which was then a part of the Bengal Presidency within the vast expanse of British India, a region that would eventually give rise to the independent nation of India.
Throughout his illustrious career, Tagore demonstrated an extraordinary versatility, excelling as both a writer and a composer. His notable works include the iconic "Song of the Body", as well as the equally impressive "Streer Patra", published in 1972, and "Natir Puja", which saw the light of day in 1932.
In his personal life, Tagore was united in matrimony to the lovely Mrinalini Devi, a union that would bring joy and companionship to his life.
Tragically, Tagore's mortal coil was finally laid to rest on August 7, 1941, in the same city where he had first entered the world, Calcutta, which was then still part of the Bengal Presidency within British India, a region that would ultimately give rise to the independent nation of India.
