It was not possible to arrange vehicles for carrying huge passengers from station to the Ashram at Santiniketan at that time and hence some aged persons both ladies and gents went to Santiniketan by car and others on foot. The students of the school was leading them in front and sung the song "Amader Santiniketan.." On both sides of the road, it was decorated nicely with bamboos inserted at regular intervals which carried mango leaves, garlands, petals of lotus, small conches, shoots of paddy, cupper-coins hung from threads tied on the bamboos.
Coming to a close distance of the ashram the conches were blown repeatedly. The females of the town were blowing the conches standing on the windows of their houses.. A nice gate was constructed in front of the ashram.
Prasanta Kumar Pal in his book Rabijibani gave a vivid decription of the programme held at Santiniketan.
