The five-coach train exhibition depicts his extraordinary works of art. The first coach, called the ‘Jibon Smriti’ (Memoirs of life) provides a glimpse of Tagore’s life through photographs. The second coach- aptly christened ‘Gitanjali’- puts on display songs, poems and letters of the master. Gitanjali had fetched Tagore the coveted Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. The third coach is named ‘Muktadhara’, and takes visitors on a mystical journey through Tagore’s novels, essays and plays. ‘Chitralekeha’ is the fourth coach of the train and depicts his paintings, while the fifth coach depicts the last journey of Tagore. The Sanskriti Express will go to various parts of the country before returning to Kolkata in West Bengal on May 8, 2011. (ANI)
