Mystic ode for Michelle

Fakir Lalon Shah, also known as Lalon Shah, was a Bengali philosopher poet. His poetry, articulated in songs, are considered classics of the Bangla language. Fakir Lalon Shah lived in the village of Cheuria in the area known as Nadia in the Bengal Presidency of British India, corresponding to the district of Kushtia in present-day Bangladesh.
Lalon composed numerous songs and poems, which describe his philosophy. The songs of Lalon give subliminal exposures to the reality/truth that lies beyond our material plane/realism.
Lalon's philosophical expression was based in oral and expressed in songs and musical compositions using instruments that could be made by any rural households from materials available at home: an ektara (one-string musical instrument) and a dugi (hand drum).

The low-lying building of the National Handicrafts and Handloom Museum, most appropriate for displaying India's rural and tribal arts, is designed by the renowned architect Charles Correa, to act as metaphor for an Indian village street - affable, accommodative and active.
A walk across the Crafts Museum building would be through open and semi open passages covered with sloping, tiled roofs and lined with old carved wooden jharokhas, doors, windows, utensils and storage jars and perforated iron screens; through courtyards having domed pigeon houses adorned with arches and lattice work panels, terracotta shrines dedicated to basil plants, massive temple chariots and vermilion covered anionic wayside altars, providing every now and then a peep through a window into vast museum galleries.
The Scales and proportions of the building are based on those of the traditional Indian village where objects of everyday life are hand made and used.
