Every year, as winter arrives, we celebrate the infinite wisdom of the 15th-century mystic poet, Kabir, in a city 'older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend', Varanasi. For the past seven years, when the weather turns nippy, we spend three memorable days soaking in Kabir's syncretic philosophy – with music, literature, and discourse - on the banks of the eternal river, Ganga.

The Mahindra Kabira Festival, produced by pioneering curation and production company Teamwork Arts, programmed great artists and thinkers like Prahlad Singh Tipaniya, Mukhtiyar Ali, Aruna Sairam, the Raghu Dixit Project, Indian Ocean, Anwar Khan Manganiar, Shabnam Virmani, Kabir Cafe, Kailash Kher, Shubha Mudgal,Mooralala, Malini Awasthi, Dastaan Live, Paresh Maity, Purushottam Agrawal, Linda Hess and looks forward to many more.

The upcoming festival, will include a plethora of classical and folk music, talks, art demonstrations, the characteristic Kabira boat rides, a delectable local food journey and the quintessential Ganga Arati experience. Heritage walks will unlock the lanes, the shops & sights of this incredible city for our delegates.
