“Parampara Pravaha” is an extraordinary confluence of art and devotion, uniting Maharajji’s students across the globe to honour his unmatched contribution to Kathak.

The evening also paid homage to another luminary of Indian classical music, the globally celebrated tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain, who recently departed for the heavenly abode. His rhythm, much like Maharajji’s grace, resonated deeply with the souls of art lovers worldwide, and the tribute marked a solemn yet celebratory remembrance of their unparalleled genius.
