Sekhar Roy’s painting -Bengali Tune, an absorbing acrylic on canvas, captures the intricate fabric of Bengali culture. In this colorful composition, Baul (folk music) women are at the center of the performance using the Khol (percussion) and ektara instruments. However, women standing in the background carrying Pepa, a distinct horn instrument from the musical traditions of Assam and Bengal, add the final touch to these soulful musicians.

Roy uses vivid and bright colors to enhance the appeal of the painting. The women are well dressed in blue and red dresses, which forms a contrast against the landscape. Bengali Tune captures in its sound the soul of the musical identity of Bengal and the majesty of its folk music.
