I was travelling through the villages of<br> West Bengal in search of the famed folk musicians of Bengal. They were simple people who journeyed from village to village, singing and performing.</p> <p>But something happened along the way…</p> <p>The afternoon sun was at its height when I reached Kankalitala, in the northwestern part of West Bengal. The temple in Kankalitala is very popular among the worshippers of Goddess Kali. The temple is located right next to a river called Kopai, a beautiful<br> silent river that is known to get naughty sometimes during the monsoons. There were very few people about, for almost all of Bengal sleeps in the afternoon.</p>
