And just like that, Shornali Shondha became a beautiful memory!

As we look back at these moments from the evening, our hearts are full of gratitude.

It was truly heartwarming to see our community come together to celebrate culture, connection, and Bangaliyana with so much love and enthusiasm.

These pictures capture only a glimpse of the joy, talent, and togetherness that filled the evening.

A heartfelt thank you to all our performers, volunteers, organizers, participants, and everyone who joined us and made the night unforgettable.

And before we say goodbye, here’s something exciting to look forward to next!

On behalf of BARI, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the Bornomala team who made two very special presentations as part of the Cultural Program for the Saraswati Puja! The students worked hard and prepared for the event through online rehearsals. The actual performance involved both in-person and online participation – making it a one-of-a-kind presentation!

The students also contributed amazing artwork – impressions of Goddess Saraswati, or the beauty of Mother Nature, as seen through their eyes – that were also exhibited during the Puja!

A big shout out to all the Bornomala students and teachers, and especially to Rupayan and Vani Gupta for leading this wonderful initiative!
