Synopsis
Journeying across Varanasi, Lucknow, and Muzzafarpur in India, this documentary film traces the lost traditions and the culture of tawaifs (courtesans of North India), particularly through a song sung by Rasoolan Bai, “Lagat karejwa ma chot, phool gendwa na maar” and its lesser known, earlier version “Lagat jobanwa ma chot, phool gendwa na maar” (recorded in a 1935 Gramophone recording). Weaving the past with the present, the film spans between personal stories as it interacts with historical events, ultimately leading to the decline of a great art form.
