Mystic Minstrel by Rima_B
The Baul are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal. Bauls constitute both a syncretic religious sect and a musical tradition. They can often be identified by their distinctive clothes and musical instruments. Though Bauls comprise only a small fraction of the Bengali population, their influence on the culture of Bengal is considerable. In 2005, the Baul tradition was included in the list of "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO. ~ From Wikipedia http://flic.kr/p/jfnr7C
