Hindu man playing music, Pabuji bhopa playing ravanhatha, Rajasthan, India. The Bhopa caste is a community of priests-singers of folk deities in western India. The man is honouring Pabuji, a local god in Rajasthan. The scroll behind the man is depicting the life of Pabuji. The ravanhatta is an ancient stringed instrument that could be the ancestor of the violin. Despite being priests, they have a low status in the hindu caste system because folk deities are not brahmanical gods
