Kolkata, November 5, 2026: The spiritual legacy of Sadhak Bamakhyapa and his deep devotion to Maa Tara took centre stage at a special evening of Shyama Sangeet organised at Kolkata’s historic Lake Kalibari on November 4. The programme brought together prominent singers, filmmakers and members of the cast of the upcoming Bengali film Sadhak Bamakhyapa, blending devotional music, cinema and Bengal’s cultural heritage.
