First Felicitation of Rabindranath

Rabindranath reached Madhurilata to her husband's place at Muzzafarpur, Bihar.
Anurupa Devi (1882-1958), grand daughter of the great Bhudev Mukopadhaya, was married with Shekharnath Bandyopadhaya, the friend of Sarat Kumar, and began to reside in Muzzafarpur. She wrote about Madhurilata there. 
Madhurilata took up the role of extending  female education in the orthodox society of Muzzafarpur.

"A meeeting was convened to felicitate Rabindranath on 1st Shraban....". This was written by Aghorenath Chattopadhyaya.
