Soumita Saha Deifies Devi Avatar With Rupang Dehi
Soumita Saha‘s ‘ Rupang Dehi’ artfully deifies the Anecdote of the fierce warrior Devi’s divine healer avatar
Beneath an azure sky adorned with ethereal white clouds, kash flowers sway in distant fields, heralding the sacred descent of Uma, Bengal’s cherished warrior goddess, from the divine peaks of Kailash. Durga Puja, usually immersed in jubilant anticipation, is this year tinged with the solemnity of delayed justice. While the season ushers in fresh tunes and vibrant advertisements, the RG Kar controversy casts a lingering gloom. Disillusioned professionals take to the streets, resolutely demanding justice, casting a pall over the festive joy with their cries for reparation and equity. With the anguish of dark days in mind, Soumita Saha crafted “Rupang Dehi,” a stirring composition she calls “aloy ferar gaan”—the song of returning to light. This anthem of hope symbolizes the Warrior Goddess’s arrival, promising the triumph of light after the night’s turbulence. It echoes the collective yearning for resilience and renewal in trying times.
Soumita Saha’s Rupang Dehi masterfully venerates the divine healer avatar of Devi, portraying her as the Goddess of restoration and solace. This symbolic representation subtly mirrors the extraordinary dedication of modern-day women doctors who, during the COVID-19 crisis, forsook personal comforts and braved life-threatening challenges. Simultaneously, the song reveres Devi Durga as the fierce warrior, drawing parallels with the valorous women serving in the Indian Army and those fearless activists who, armed with torches and raised voices, stand resolute against societal injustices.
Penned, composed, and rendered by Soumita Saha, the song was recorded by Rana Mondal and expertly mixed and mastered by US-based sound engineer Nero James. A joint venture under Western Music Records, produced by Melotunes Productions, it is poised for release on Melotunes’ official YouTube channel and major streaming platforms. This composition is a powerful tribute to the multifaceted strength and unwavering courage of women across the globe.
