Ragas come alive



Indian raga music thrives on improvisation. No two performances even by the same musician produce the same result. And you can witness the same over the weekend as Windmills hosts a performance by Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya, a leading doyen of Indian classical music and classical fusion. He will be presenting two different styles on each day. If Saturday will be an exploration of Indian fusion, Sunday will see Indian classical presentation. So, go ahaead and enjoy best of both styles.
