Mahima Dayal Mathur, professionally known as Bawari Basanti बावरी बसन्ती is a storyteller from India, who makes music based on conversations she has with beings of all shapes and sizes. They speak about what it means to be them, while uncovering/learning philosophies and perspectives with each new conversation.

Mahima started to learn music at the age of 9, when her grandmother, Late Smt. Lalita Dayal would take classes for classical music in their family home. She later studied Hindustani Music at Prayaag Sangeet Samiti and further, studied music at Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music.
