- Summary:
- A documentary of an ancient storytelling tradition which is still ongoing in northwestern India. Using still and live action, it tells the epic of Lord Pabuji whose exploits have been recounted for over 600 years in the state of Rajasthan. The storyteller, or Bhopo, stands in front of an immense brilliantly painted mural called a pard, containing all the characters and events of the legend. He plays on his homemade fiddle, dances, and chants episodes of the epic to his village audience.
