About

Those of us who grew up with Tagore's songs in the 21st century, and whose love for Rabindrasangeet has not waned despite the moth-eaten states of their Gitabitan and Swarabitan at home — this website is for all those enthusiasts.

Type any song's Bengali or English lyrics in the search below to get a list of songs starting with those letters. From there, you can access a wealth of information about your favorite song (such as composition place, date, raag, taal, tradition, translation, illustrations, paintings, and music-related quotes from Tagore and his admirers).

Each song is also accompanited by it's digital Swaralipi. Click the play button to hear an accurate rendition of the Swaralipi accompanied with Tabla. The site also provides the option to convert & download the Staff notation of the Swaralipi, for those of us who are adept at reading Staff. And for those of us who wish to practice or record Rabindrasangeet, the necessary instrument tracks based on the Swaralipi are also available for download.
