CULTURE

This week, three multi-

disciplinary events across

the country mark the begin-

ning of the ‘culture season’ in

India—a time when cooler

weather encourages people to

dress up, step out and take in

various arts. Visit an exhibi-

tion in New Delhi, attend

a symposium that brings

together fine and performing

arts in Mumbai, or plan a trip

to the dunes of Pushkar for a

few days of music and

wellness.
