Every year, since 1992, the Indian Heritage Society (IHS) organises a festival that brings the spotlight back on Mumbai's heritage, through music. Once known as the Banganga Festival, it changed name and location in 2006 to become Mumbai Sanskriti. However, the objective remained the same. "The idea is to invite people to for raising awareness. We do it through classical music to make them gather," says Anita Garware, chairperson, IHS. "That is not to say music doesn't constitute heritage. Built heritage comes out of a culture that exists around it and music forms a part of that," she adds.
