Rabindranath to see his father

Having returned from Solapur to Kolkata Rabindranath had to go to Bandra, Mumbai, to see his father who was seriously ill at that place. Bandra was said to be the 'Queen of the suburb' as it was a very costly place. He stayed there for two months and wrote 'Mangal Geeti'.
That was the year when Indian National Congress held its 1st session at Mumbai and W.C.Bonerjee was on the chair.
