IIC cordially invites you to an enchanting evening of Baul Music with Lakshman Das Baul, a renowned Baul singer from Birbhum, West Bengal.

This mystic oral tradition blends folk music with profound philosophical themes, preaching love, oneness, and divine connection through powerful lyrical expressions. It has notably influenced Bengali cultural heritage and the works of Rabindranath Tagore.
