‘Bohurupi’ literally means to imitate different kind of forms that make a man of special characters. Mainly, the forms of Hindu deities. It’s a rural art that has been prevalent for almost 200 years. Mainly this kind of art is found in the Birbhum & some district respectively in the state of West Bengal. Now this art is extinct & the definition has been changed.
In a fair, this boy was begging in front of me. After a while he came to me & I had captured a photograph of him. They are generally depicted themselves in forms of Hindu God-Goddesses & act in from of us. In this way they are begging in different places for their daily needs day after day. Some of same aged girls & boys are studying in the school, where as they are fighting for breads with taking this profession as 'Bohurupi', Which is one of the extinct rural art of Bengal.
