EP 222: Bengal-The Story of Swet-Basanta (Day)
#Bengal #folktale
Today we are back in the book of Bengal folklore written down by Lal Behari Day. In today’s story we will learn about Swet Basanta. There are a couple of words I want you to know before we get into the story. Almirah is a closet or wardrobe. Ghataks are professional marriage brokers. Manik is a great jewel of incomparable beauty. And a howdah is a fancy seat for riding elephants. Please don’t ride elephants.
