Parvathy Baul, taken in at the age of 16, is one of the youngest practicing bauls as well as one of the few women who are taught the art. Her music combines recitation, dance, and a one-stringed intstrument called ‘ektara’ – that she plucks with one hand as she drums with the other and whirls around onstage, bells jangling around her ankles. She describes the song and dance of the baul as “meditation in motion.”
