With summer vacations 🌞 🌊 🏔️ 🌈 knocking on our doors, what better way to celebrate than an interactive session led by Sai Sanjay, a Carnatic vocalist and a master’s student in the departments of Physics and Mathematical Sciences, on the Melakarta system of raga classification in the Carnatic canon?

With the unfolding of spring, @gemarts.bsky.social and our Music Department are back with Indian Spring Colours, a festival to immerse ourselves in the fragrant hues of raga music! 🌷🌿🦜💐❤️ We look forward to welcoming you all! For more details: kindly check out gemarts.org/whatson
