Bards of Bengal

























Bards of Bengal, India, known in Bengali as 'baul'. Their philosophy of life is 'first know yourself.' Then only you can venture into the external world.
Watercolour on paper, 5 x 6 in. At the top, in between is the baul's famous single-string hand-made musical instrument called 'ektara' ('ek' means 'one', 'tar' means 'string' in Bengali). They play the ektara when they sing. Subscribe to Beautiful and Sublime by Email Subscribe in a reader
