But, it’s not just about that, is it? Legacies are forged over generations. It’s your job to play Raga Malhaar at the festival this year to invoke rain that even the spirits can feel. Megh, the OG composer, who lives in the Spirit Island, is the only one who can teach you. What took your grandfather a lifetime to master, you have to in just a month or the spirits disappear forever!
