Shakuntala-Nalak || Abanindranath Tagore

Description

Nalak is a flower born out of a nal (a tube), like a lotus. Nalak is the story of a child hermit who covers the life-story of the Lord Buddha, but who is sad that he could not meet the Lord himself.

Abanindranath Thakur, the doyen of modern Indian Painting and Art, infuses the story with poetry and colour, to turn it into a classic.
