Every week Vogue gives you a cultural calendar comprising the best of music, art, photography, food and fashion that may just be your respite from the heat.
This week, Bollywood singer Mohit Chauhan woos audiences in Delhi, while Mahabharata returns to life through a Bharatanatyam performance in Bengaluru.
Read on for what made it to Vogue's list of all things cultural this week.
If you're in Bengaluru…
Watch a dance drama
Think Mahabharata through dances moves—and dialogues. Taking a cue from Kamala Subramaniam's Mahabharata and Devdutt Pattanaik's The Pregnant King, The Peacock Prince is an artistic expression of an ancient epic through the classical dance form: Bharatanatyam.
When: May 14 and 15, 7:30 pm
Where: Theatre Nisha, Ranga Shankara, 36/2 8th Cross II Phase, JP Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560078, India. Book here.
Read 'Between the Lines'
If you missed the multi-city tour of Nandita Das and Divya Jagdale's contemporary play, Between the Lines, now's your chance to watch the cinematic adaptation of the theatrical performance. Real life couple Nandita Das and Subodh Maskara take the stage as a lawyer couple that find themselves in a fix between tradition and modernity.

If you're in Mumbai…
Get onboard the Bombay Local
One pop-up styling studio, 80 live food counters (comprising fresh, homegrown produce), and a three-sided island bar. Who says quantity and quality don't go hand-in-hand?
When: May 16, 4 pm to midnight
Where: Khar Gymkhana Grounds, Mumbai. Entry: Rs 150. Book here.
If you're in Delhi…
Crush on cakes and candy
The Little Black Book believes in dedicating a day to the most important course of a meal: desserts—and that's exactly how we take our sugar. Hosted at Monkey Bar (which opened in Mumbai this week), expect old-favourites such as The Rolling Pin bakery and Sucre alongside a DIY station by KitchenAid. The second edition of the Dessert Bazaar promises to be a sweet treat.
When: May 16, 11 am to 7 pm
Where: Monkey Bar, Lodhi complex, Delhi. Find out more.
Sing-along with Mohit Chauhan
He's not only Bollywood's go-to playback singer, but also has several IIFA and Filmfare awards to his name. Former member of Indi-pop band Silk Route, and the voice behind Once upon a time in Mumbai and Rockstar, Mohit Chauhan performs live in the capital this Saturday.
When: May 16, 7 pm
Where: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, near Lodi Colony, Pragati Vihar, Delhi. Book here.
Make a case for Kambatta
Based on the sensational Nanavati case of 1959, The Kambatta Case has all the right ingredients for a murder mystery play: an affair, a murder, and a trial. Hold on to your seats while you watch this thriller unravel before your eyes.
When: May 16 and 17, 7:30 pm
Where: Epicentre at Apparel House: Gurgaon, Gurgaon, NCR. Book here.
