About Ragini

Bloomed in 2005 at Santipur, one of the ancient centres of religion, culture and education  of the undivided Bengal, Ragini started the voyage with the observance of Vijoya Sammilani, a programme on Indian Classical Music to celebrate the triumph of Goodness over Evil, the essence of Vijoya after Durga Puja festival. Inspite of the initial days of hardship and toil Ragini got itself registered (S/1L/3668) in 2006, becoming Santipur Ragini, and constituted her do’s and don’ts to step towards future spreading fragrance to persons & places near and far.

Our Classical Music Fest is a Music Conference with a difference. Before the concert in presence of a healthy audience at the nicely decorated Geeta Palace a trip is arranged for guests and artists to make them feel the pulse of the heritage town visiting Goswami Temples, Babla Adwaitya Path (where the holy shoe or Kharam of Lord Chaitanya is preserved for devotees), house of Mahatma Bijoy Krishna Goswami, spot beside the Ganges Where Aadi Kobi Krittibas transcreated Bengali Ramayana. Lunch is arranged with Bhog Prasad of Lord Krishna at Baro Goswami Temple.

To make the present generation aware of the illustrious sons of the soil we paid tribute to Ghanashyam Mukhopadhyay ( international Violinist), Dr. Basu Kr. Bagchi (Sanyasi & scientist), Bhunath Mukhopadhyay ( international painter and sculptor), Dr. Nalini Mohan Sanyal (a renowned Hindi linguist), Dr. Sitanath Pramanick (Physician and Sitarist), Debu Sanyal (a man of music). A souvenir is published in the annual Classical Music Conference illuminating the great sons of our soil. The search is on. Ragini will try to publish a book on them.
