Though it is basically aimed to pay homage to legendary personality Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha, it is also an effort to bring a renaissance to the folk culture, music and food habits of the indigenous communities of the Northeast.” As per the programme schedule, there will also be a seminar on the topic ‘Role of fold artist and the vision of Kalaguru in the formation of greater Assamese society’. The event will witness exhibitions, musical nights and food festivals. A life-size statue of the Kalaguru is also being constructed at Chamuapara village near Tangla town.
