BAUL ? A STATE OF MIND
3 days in the Kenduli Baul Mela

The Bauls of Bengal have been singing their songs of devotion for years unknown. Belonging to an eclectic culture, they live the life of vagabonds, searching for the true meaning of life. They believe in the existence of one God, dwelling in us humans. And each year, they gather in the village of Kenduli for the annual BAUL MELA. Baul is a cult, a humanistic philosophy, a way of life and above all A State Of Mind.
