Feature: Bannabagram, the Bauls’ Ashram
October 19, 2025, from 4:30 p.m. to 5: 30 p.m.
With Amitava Bhattacharya
In Bengal, the Bauls established an ashram in Bannabagram: a community where music, spirituality, and solidarity come together. More than just a village, it is a unique space that preserves the Baul tradition while supporting the development of an entire community.
Amitava Bhattacharya, founder of the Banglanatak dot com Foundation, will share how this ashram became a social laboratory, where art and culture serve as catalysts for building a more just and inclusive future.
