Noted calligrapher Perin Pudumjee Coyaji participated in a group exhibition at the Jehangir Art Gallery titled AksharBharati which showcased old scripts of India in contemporary calligraphy. The exhibition, organized by calligrapher Achyut Palav, was inaugurated on January 28, 2025 by the chief minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis.
The selected calligraphers presented Brahmi, Siddham, Jaini, Modi and Devanagiri scripts, including the largely unknown Avestan script in which much of the ancient Zoroastrian scriptures were written, notes an email from Coyaji. The exhibition attracted massive footfalls, facilitated by the then concurrent Kala Ghoda festival.
