“Yaadein” is an homage to legendary Kathak dancer Pandit Birju Maharaj, capturing his profound impact on Indian classical music and dance through memoirs and photographs, visualized and designed by CMAC.

CMAC proudly visualized and designed “Yaadein,” a tribute book dedicated to the legendary Pandit Birju Maharaj. This commemorative volume, published by Pt. Birju Maharaj ji’s Kalashram School of Dance and Music, features memoirs from a wide array of his disciples and admirers, capturing the profound impact he had on the world of Kathak dance and Indian classical music. Through the lens of photographer Parthiv Shah, “Yaadein” encapsulates the rich legacy and heartfelt memories of Maharaj ji, ensuring that his contributions and teachings continue to inspire future generations.

In collaboration with Kalashram, CMAC (under Parthiv Shah) meticulously compiled textual information from diverse sources, weaving together anecdotes and reflections from eminent personalities like Sajan Misra, Kavita Mishra, Pratap Pawar, Madhavi Mudgal and many others. The book not only serves as a testament to Maharaj ji’s unparalleled artistry but also highlights his personal connections with those he mentored and influenced. Designed with an aesthetic that reflects the elegance and dynamism of Kathak, “Yaadein” stands as a significant cultural document, reflecting CMAC’s commitment to preserving and promoting India’s artistic heritage through innovative media and communication strategies.
