The story is set in the backdrop of the bustling island town of Nabadwip in Nadia district of West Bengal. Flanked on both sides by the mighty Ganges, Nabadwip was known as a seat of spiritual erudition in erstwhile Bengal. But alongside that, the town was rankled by heinous oppression from various Brahmanical sects, the plight of which was borne majorly by the womenfolk. This masterpiece, a time capsule from medieval Bengal, is presented with live and elaborate music scores, ensemble-driven physical theater and a brilliant cast of characters.
