Tejan Bai

Cultural Artist · Singer

Born 1956 · Ganiyari, Chhattisgarh

Tejan Bai is among the most celebrated exponents of Pandwani, the Chhattisgarhi tradition of sung Mahabharata narration, credited with taking the form from village courtyards to national and international stages over a performing career spanning decades. She remains closely associated with the vigorous 'Kapalik' style of Pandwani performance.
