Dive into the immortal folklore of Ang Pradesh with “Bihula-Vishahari Ki Kahani” — a legendary tale of eternal love, unwavering courage, absolute sacrifice, and an unbreakable resolve that transcends life and death.
Set against the cultural backdrop of Bhagalpur, Bihar, this epic narrative weaves together the divine wills of Lord Shiva, Goddess Mansa (Vishahari), the defiant merchant Chando Sadagar, the ill-fated Bala Lakhendra, and the fiercely devoted Bihula.
About the Story
According to ancient legend, Goddess Mansa Vishahari sought to establish her worship on Earth. What follows is a dramatic clash of divine pride and mortal defiance—from Chando Sadagar’s fierce opposition and the tragic snakebite of Bala Lakhendra, to Bihula’s legendary, perilous journey in a raft to reclaim her husband’s life from the heavens.
This timeless audio storytelling is brought to life through the visual brilliance of Manjusha Art (मंजूषा कला)—the exclusive folk art tradition of Bhagalpur known as “Snake Painting.” Adhering to its strict structural motifs, distinctive borders, and primary color palette of yellow, pink, and green, every frame breathes life into Angika folklore.
