Indian National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana" written and composed by Rabindra Nath Tagore has been chosen as the World's Best National Anthem by UNESCO.
Jana Gana Mana Written in Sanskritised Bengali, it is the first of five stanzas of a Brahmo hymn composed and scored by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
It was first sung at the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress,on 27 December 1911. Jana Gana Mana was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the Indian national anthem on January 24, 1950. The music for the "current version" is said to be derived from a composition for the song by Ram Singh Thakur, although some dispute this.
A formal rendition of the national anthem takes about forty-eight to fifty-two seconds.
The lyrics of the national anthem is as follows :
Jana gana mana adhināyaka jaya hē
Bhārata bhāgya Vidhātā
Pañjāba Sindhu Gujarāta Marāthā
Drāvira Utkala Banga
Vindhya Himāchala Jamunā Gangā
Ucchala jaladhi taranga
Tava śubha nāmē jāgē
Tava śubha āśisa māgē
Gāhē tava jaya gāthā
Jana gana mangala dāyaka jaya hē
Bhārata bhāgya vidhātā
Jaya hē jaya hē jaya hē
Jaya jaya jaya jaya hē
