She visits several dance, theatre and music institutions across the globe in the capacity of a teacher.

Parvathy performs mystic songs both from traditional Baul repertoires and her own doha couplets. She uses elements of theatre and cantastoria or sung stories as part of her performances by acting out the lyrics or at times adding explanatory speeches in English.
