Page after page of sumptuous art in this real-life story of self-taught Amdavadi folk artist and singer Teju Behan is witness to the life of a woman caught between endemic poverty and a rich imaginative inner world. Silkscreen-printed by hand, the book reflects upon hardship while also celebrating the remarkable story of a spirited woman.
