The Bauls of Bengal were an order of musicians in 18th, 19th and early 20th century India who played a form of music using a khamak, ektara and dotara.
The word Baul comes from Sanskrit batul meaning divinely inspired insanity. They are a group of mystic minstrels.
They are thought to have been influenced greatly by the Hindu tantric sect of the Kartabhajas as well as by Sufi sects.
Bauls travel in search of the internal ideal, Maner Manush (Man of the Heart).
