The Kaavad of Rajasthan is a portable shrine with multiple doors that hold into themselves. The Kaavadiya Bhat or the storyteller journeys with this brightly painted wooden box to the homes of his patrons, to recite their genealogies and regale them with the stories of the pantheon of deities painted on the shrine. The author leads us on a journey to uncover the myths and mysteries of this unique oral-storytelling tradition.
