    Rabindranath Tagore reworked his play 'Raja Rani' written much earlier into a new drama called 'Tapati' in 1929. The play was staged the same year in which Rabindranath also played the role of Vikramjit in the play. Abanindranath Tagore visually documented all of Rabindranath's dramatic productions. He also painted several mask drawings. Abanindranath must have made this painting at the same time as the staging of the play.
