Inktober Day 31 : Award
Medium : Digital Ink, G Pen
In the folklore of the Sunderbans, there's a boy named Dukhe who goes into the deep deep forest with a fleet of honey collecters (mouli). The only one who prayed to Bonbibi for protection against the tiger of the deep forests, Dakkhin Rai and the one who survives the trip, other than one of the lead mouli, Dhona. He is awarded in riches, wax, honey, and Dhona's daughter, Champa's hand in marriage.
This Inktober, I used the prompts to explore South Asia's folk traditions!
