Gombhira is a folk play performed in North Bengal during the months of Chaitra centering the festival of ‘Gajan’. The essential parts of Gombhira play include songs and sarcastic dialogues. Bimal Gupta was a prominent exponent of  Bengals folk play, Gombhira.

The play is all about launching complain to an imaginary character called ‘Nana’ who represents Shiva. The appearance of  Bimal Gupta was highly deceptive; nobody can ever understand that he had such acting skills. All the social satires found life through the performance of Bimal Gupta.

His instant dialogues made the audience laugh out loud. He was the person who spread Gombhira among the young generation. He also performed outside West Bengal.

After the death of  Dokori Chowdhury, Bimal Gupta took the responsibility of keeping the folk tradition alive.

On 9th January 2011, Bimal Gupta passed away.
