In his Talk, "From the Sultanates to the Mughals: Continuities in Maratha Architecture", Architect Pushkar Sohoni examines how the Marathas maintained the architectural traditions of the Deccan Sultanates during their rule. He explores the complex interplay of cultural and political identities within the region to demonstrate how political histories do not neatly map into architectural histories.
The online Talk in English is at 5.30 pm IST on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
