Rabin Kumar Majhi (51) and Anukul Ghosh (63) pose for a portrait as a newly married couple. Anukul Ghosh, a male, used to play a female character in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Now he is completely retired from Jatra.“There is no article on the Internet, in books, or in Calcutta or Bangladesh about the artists of Jatra,” says Bose.
