"Kauri by Mysticeti is emerging as a favourite with families for its multidisciplinary approach to the arts. Run by Stuti Sareen, it is part of the niche, albeit growing, set of cultural experience centres located in tier 2 and tier 3 cities and towns. These centres are not just opening up new ways of thinking about art but are also rooted in the context of the city, and have emerged as meaningful spaces for both locals and families visiting from other parts of the country.”

“More than just a physical space, the Centre for Art and Storytelling by Mysticeti is a symbol of connection and community. By fostering generational exchanges and providing a platform for collaboration and learning, it is paving the way for a brighter, more creative future for Varanasi's youth. In a city that cherishes its traditions while embracing change, Mysticeti's Centre for Art and Storytelling is a shining example of the transformative power of creativity; a place where everyone feels a sense of belonging and connection.”
