Best known for its gathering of Baul musicians, the Joydev Kenduli Mela is a melting pot of Bengali culture. Kenduli — in Birbhum district of West Bengal — happens to be the birthplace of famous Bengal poet, Joydev. Baul singers {mystic minstrels known for their distinctive saffron robes and instruments} congregate in Birbhum in mid-January, around the time of Makar Sankranti.
