🌟 About the Event

Experience History Through the Power of Performing Arts! 🎭✨

Step into a fascinating world of Indian history, cultural heritage and artistic storytelling with Param Presents Parampara, a special performing arts event presented by Param Foundation.

Taking place on Saturday, 21 November 2026, at Basava Samithi, Bengaluru, the event brings two original productions to the stage, exploring the extraordinary lives and legacies of two influential historical rulers.

Beginning at 6:00 PM and continuing until 7:40 PM, this 100-minute programme combines historical narratives with the expressive possibilities of live performance.

The event features Raja Mata Ahilya Bai Holkar, presented by Vaishnavi Sishila, and Raja Sayaji Rao, presented by Dr. Dyuti Pandya.

Both productions explore the lives, times, achievements and enduring contributions of rulers who influenced India's cultural and historical landscape.

Rather than presenting history only through written accounts, Parampara brings lesser-told stories to audiences through creative interpretation and performance.

The programme celebrates the intersection of historical research, artistic expression and India's rich cultural traditions.

Through its Param New Production Grant, Param Foundation supports artists in developing original works inspired by Indian heritage.

This initiative encourages new artistic interpretations of stories that deserve greater attention and appreciation.

Parampara offers audiences an opportunity to discover historical personalities through engaging theatrical presentations.

The two productions place particular emphasis on the cultural significance, leadership and contributions of Ahilya Bai Holkar and Sayaji Rao.

These historical figures are remembered for their approaches to governance, public welfare, education and cultural development.

The performances aim to explore their legacies while highlighting the power of artistic storytelling.

The event is categorised under Classical, with Hindi, Marathi and English listed as the programme languages.

Designed for all age groups, Parampara offers an opportunity for families, students, history enthusiasts and performing arts lovers to engage with India's heritage.

Whether you appreciate classical performing arts, enjoy history-inspired productions or want to explore cultural stories through live theatre, this event offers a meaningful cultural experience.
