World Sacred Spirit Festival 2018 - 15 to 18 February - Jodhpur

In India, where the idea of a ritual is omnipresent, where thousands of festivals vividly live on in the memory of each river or mountain, and where the history of Gods and Deities are the subject of a rituals schedule that is unique in the world. In view of this reality, any attempt towards a cultural festival on the theme of the 'sacred' could appear inappropriate or out-dated and far from the vigor of the grand ceremonies and festivals that form the foundation of Ancient India.

The prestigious site of the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur opens its doors to an extraordinary sacred and historical musical journey. Magnificent, inherited and spiritual arts will carry you to the very origin of a tradition linked to those pilgrims of the past, travelers of the spirit, who brought to civilisation a sense of inspiration and meaning.

This year's festival is a homage to Padma Bhushan Rajkumar Martand Singhji (10th February 1947 - 25th April 2017).
