Offering To The Sun with Baluji Shrivastav OBE
An immersive journey through the heat and beauty of the summer in India.
Experience through music the atmosphere of India’s scorching summer as expressed through the powerful medium of Indian classical music. Raag Darbari—the king of ragas created by the legendary court musician Tansen to soothe Emperor Akbar during the oppressive heat—evokes a profound sense of surrender. This is the season when people cool themselves by drinking aam panna from raw mango with mint leaves and roohafza from roses, and traditionally hung fragrant curtains sprayed with water to evaporate in the burning air.
