Palav has expressively used the Devnagri & English
scripts in his works over the years. But his love
has been
the depths of Devnagri scripts, and especially,
its avatar in Maharashtra - a region known for durable
and enriching
literary tradition. Music & other such performing
arts have inspired him to make innovative &
bold demonstrations with Musicians, Dancers, singers
& like. He passes on the same enthusiasm to
budding artists through his demos & highly interactive
workshops.
