Beginning of this year we invited Ma Saraswati and placed her in midst of the tanpura, the musical instrument of her choice beautifully handcrafted by the talented members Subarna, Arpita, Anindya. Brace yourself to be spellbound by the beauty of the Gods and Goddesses arriving for her stay with us in a magnificent “Nauko” or ship.
