Dr. Pranaame Bhagawati, an Indian cultural activist, author, and internationally-acclaimed classical danseuse and choreographer, launched two books on the occasion of her 24th wedding anniversary on July 1, 2026.
Representing His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, President of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, Savitri Sonia Parag, Education Minister graced the event and unveiled the two books alongside other dignitaries, a press release said.
It added that the first book is the June issue of Amrapali Magazine, which has been specifically conceptualised around Guyana itself. Through her work, Dr Bhagawati has endeavoured to capture the essence of this remarkable country, its vibrant spirit, its rich multicultural tapestry, and the vision that drives it forward.
Her second book is a profound work on the classical Indian dance form, Kathak. This book is the culmination of her lifetime of dedication to the art, a scholarly text that seeks to preserve the grace, storytelling, and discipline of Kathak for future generations.
“It is worth mentioning that Dr. Pranaame Bhagawati is the founder of the Amrapali Society for Arts, an organisation dedicated to promoting and connecting communities worldwide through the fragrance of art and culture. She also serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Amrapali Magazine, a publication devoted to global culture, which stands as another heartfelt effort towards the same mission,” the statement said.
It added that Ms. Wamiel Pranaame Kashyap, Dr. Bhagawati’s daughter, mesmerised the audience with a captivating dance recital of Lord Ganesh Vandana.
