Prabhat Alloi (Prabhata's home)

Prabhat Alloi is a charity set up by Shivanii Cameron, Tinku Mahato and friends, to support the villagers in and around Dabar village in West Bengal. Shivanii came to film the kirtan with me in 2006 and fell in love with the depth and sincerity of the people and the raw beauty of the place. Since then she has been working with Tinku on establishing an orphanage, school, medical centre and other service projects.

Now Shivanii and I are organising a Culture Tour of Rarh in March 2011 for 10 days. It will be an amazing cultural/spiritual journey into this ancient region, with visits to the Chhau masked martial dancer, the mystic Baul singers, the ecstatic kirtan performances, the dancing girls 'nacini nach' as well as an exciting forest expedition. I will keep you updated about that as it develops.
