Introduction to Gopal Bhar

Gopal Bhar was born in a village called Ghurni, north of Krishnanagar. His father died when he was nine years old. Poor people did not have the opportunity to study. But due to his low education and his own infinite intellect and talent, he is still remembered by all, young and old.

Maharaja Krishnachandra, the emperor of Nadia, heard of Gopal's humor and intelligence and gave him a place in the royal court. From then on, Gopal's acquaintance spread around.

Barbers are cunning in words. The Gopals were barbers in the nation. Gopal was impossibly cunning but he could never be called a barber. His improbable intelligence has made him the best clown. So he is a clown.
