The sixth edition of Monkobita, a literary and cultural initiative celebrating Assam’s artistic heritage, will be held at Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, on February 13, 2026, to honour two iconic figures of Assamese culture - Dr Bhupen Hazarika and Navakanta Barua. The event gains special significance this year as it marks the birth centenaries of both the legendary singer-composer and the celebrated poet-scholar.
