Inktober Day 31 : Award

Medium : Digital Ink, G Pen

In the folklore of the Sunderbans, there's a boy named Dukhe who goes into the deep deep forest with a fleet of honey collecters (mouli). The only one who prayed to Bonbibi for protection against the tiger of the deep forests, Dakkhin Rai and the one who survives the trip, other than one of the lead mouli, Dhona. He is awarded in riches, wax, honey, and Dhona's daughter, Champa's hand in marriage.

This Inktober, I used the prompts to explore South Asia's folk traditions!

The best Sundarban tour package from Kolkata should include an easy pick-up and drop-off facility from a convenient and accessible location. Navigating Sundarban can be challenging without proper logistical support, making it essential to have a reliable and comfortable transport arrangement to and from the forest area. The pick-up time should be scheduled reasonably to ensure you can reach the meeting point without hassle.

Sundarban National Park Tourism offers well-organized Sundarban tours with comprehensive arrangements under various tour plans. For more details, you can call or email them. They provide all the necessary assistance to organize a visit to Sundarban and enjoy its wildlife. Additionally, you can request a customized Sundarban tour program for your group.
