Why a platform, not a profile
Built to outlast any one performer
A site organised entirely around a founder cannot grow past him, and cannot survive him. So Raaga Science is structured as the thing that holds the knowledge, the ensemble and the experiences — with Nawab Khan named clearly as the person whose lineage and vision it comes from.
Other musicians can be added. The festival can run in more than one country.
