How Parwati Dutta’s Mahagami Turned Aurangabad Into a Cultural Centre

In a city better known for its historic monuments and industrial edge, Parwati Dutta’s Mahagami gurukul has spent three decades building a quieter but durable legacy: training young artists in India’s classical traditions. Set in a verdant campus, the institution has become a cultural anchor for Aurangabad, drawing students, performers and audiences into a shared ecosystem of learning and performance. Its anniversary underscores how sustained private initiative can shape a city’s artistic identity over time.
