Thereafter, in 2001, she decided to devote full-time to Baul tradition, and started performing Baul music, also playing ektara and a duggi as accompanying musical instruments, and the tinkling ''chilambu'' nupur metallic anklets. She performs mystic songs both from tradition Baul repertoire and her own ''[[Doha (poetry)|doha]]'' couplets. She uses elements of theatre and [[cantastoria]] or sung stories into her performances by acting out the lyrics or at times adding explanatory speeches in English. Inspired by ''[[pattachitra]]'', scroll painters and traditional story-tellers of Bengal, she adds visual elements to performance through painted backdrops.<ref name=cnn/><ref name=hinduism>{{cite web | title = Sacred Arts: Poetess and Minstrel, Parvathy Baul Lives and Dances in her Beloved's Divine Heart | publisher = [[Hinduism Today]] Magazine | date = January–March 2013 | url = http://www.hinduismtoday.com/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=5349 | accessdate = 30 May 2014 | first = Himalayan | last = Academy | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140529084449/http://www.hinduismtoday.com/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=5349 | archive-date = 29 May 2014 | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref name=hindu05/> In some her performances, inspired by a work with Schumann, she paints large canvases along with her singing, illustrating the themes of her songs as a live performance art.<ref name="HardingRosenthal2006">{{cite book|last1=Harding|first1=James Martin|last2=Rosenthal|first2=Cindy|title=Restaging the Sixties: Radical Theaters and Their Legacies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2uPi3hBgQAkC&pg=PA386|year=2006|publisher=University of Michigan Press|isbn=0-472-06954-3|pages=386–}}</ref>
