Curator’s Note

‘Aura-Aurangabad’ celebrates the rich heritage of our city through the Indian Dance Heritage. We welcome you to be an active participant, attendee and rasika in our initiative. The concert series is being revived after a gap of one year and we hope to receive the warm support and encouragement of our audiences in this edition. The dance concerts are being presented by young upcoming artists who represent the next generation of dance practitioners. Indian Classical Dance is an intangible heritage. So, it is important to consistently nurture, mentor, support and patronise the practitioners, thus preserving the heritage. Any discontinuity in the performance practice can cause serious irreversible damage to the heritage. With this vision and awareness, Mahagami strives to be resilient in these turbulent days. Your presence and support will go miles in supporting and restoring our heritage practice and also in encouraging our young artists.
