On a weekend afternoon, Cheragi Pahar, widely regarded as the cultural hub of Chattogram, resonated with the melodies of music as a cultural program returned to the area after a long hiatus, according to bdnews24.com.

Last Friday, a group of cultural activists organized a unique musical event titled “Desher Gaan, Dosher Gaan” (Songs of the Nation, Songs of the People). The gathering brought together artists, cultural activists, organizers, journalists, professionals from various fields, and young people, creating a vibrant and nostalgic atmosphere through music.

The musical performance took place on the road in front of the Lushai Bhaban at Cheragi Pahar. Performers from Kaushik & Friends opened the event with Kumar Bishwajit’s popular song “Tomra Ektara Bajaiyo Na, Dotara Bajaiyo Na, Ektara Bajaille Mone Pore Jay, Ekdin Bangali Chilam Re” (“Don’t Play the Ektara or Dotara; the sound of the Ektara reminds me that once we were Bengalis”). The audience enthusiastically joined in, swaying to the rhythm of the drums.
