Babulal Nagara Master
My name is Babulal ! I am the nagara master. Today I guarantee, even if the others don’t know it, that I am the last nagara master, for all the masters of the other villages are dead, and me, I am still ready to play. At the time I went to the gates of the palace to ask the maharajah : « Lord, oh ! My King, give me a chance to become the musician of nagara ! » for his was dead. At the maharajah’s court we played the sacred cymbals : the dhals. While the maharajah Kashi Narej governed, I played on the elephants’ backs.
