| Guru Purnima is a sacred festival in India dedicated to honoring teachers, mentors, and spiritual guides. Celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Ashadha (June–July), it holds deep significance in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The day marks the birth anniversary of Maharishi Ved Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata and a revered guru. Devotees express gratitude to their teachers through prayers, offerings, and spiritual discourses. |

| The celebration is particularly grand in West Bengal, Bangladesh, and among Bengali communities worldwide. Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan, founded by Tagore, hosts elaborate programs showcasing his vision and teachings. People dress in traditional attire and participate in events filled with dance, drama, and Rabindra Sangeet. Rabindra Jayanti serves as a reminder of Tagore’s timeless legacy, inspiring generations with his literary and artistic brilliance. |
