A memorable workshop by Vid. Apoorva Gokhale, where she beautifully unfolded the nuances of the early evening raga Puriya Dhanashree.

Understanding key phrases not only preserves the mood of the raga, but also helps distinguish it clearly from closely related ragas like Basant and Purvi.

In a time of 2-second reels, spending an entire morning immersed in deep learning feels both rare and necessary. Experiences like these ground learners of music and leave a lasting source of motivation for months to come.
