Nagpur, Maharashtra – In the heart of the Orange City, where modern urban life meets the rustic soul of Vidarbha, two sisters are making quiet but significant waves in the preservation of Marathi language and performing arts. Anagha Deshmukh and Saveeta Deshmukh, residents of Dharampeth, Nagpur, have become familiar faces in the city’s ‘Sanskrutik’ (cultural) circles.
Friends and colleagues describe them as "Maitrini" (women of substance). Local writer notes: "Nagpur has many intellectuals, but Anagha and Saveeta have the gift of ‘Sopaan’—they take complex philosophical concepts from the Dnyaneshwari and make them accessible to the common Marathi man." Future Plans As of 2024, the sisters are reportedly working on an anthology of Vidarbha’s forgotten female saints . They are also crowdfunding to restore a small library in the Hansapuri area that was damaged in the 2023 monsoon. "Marathi is not dying in Nagpur; it is transforming," Anagha Deshmukh said in a recent interview with a local cable news channel. "Our goal is to ensure our niece and nephews know what ‘Anandvan’ (a term from Marathi literature for blissful forest) means without having to Google it in English." Recognition While they shy away from formal awards, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) recently recognized their efforts by naming a small reading corner in the Laxmi Nagur public garden after their mother.
