The Jaigarh Heritage Festival Is Here!
The festival’s main attraction is the Jaigarh Fort, a magnificent building situated high on the Aravalli hills. This fort is the ideal venue for showcasing Rajasthan’s rich artistic heritage. Celebrated artists such as Kailash Kher of Kailasa, well-known folk singer Malini Awasthi, and the mesmerising Mir Mukhtiyar Ali will all perform soul-stirring songs at the festival.
Through folk and classical music, these performances will bring the fort’s historic stone walls to life. Every note will be a tribute to the musical traditions of Rajasthan. Don’t miss out on the lively Food Gully at the vibrant festival. Here, you can savour a mouthwatering selection of genuine Rajasthani dishes like dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, and more.
In the Crafts Bazaar, local artisans will display their finest works. The interactive workshops here will also allow you to try your hand at these traditional crafts. Whether you’re learning blue pottery techniques or experimenting with handwoven textiles, there’s something for every art enthusiast.
Heritage talks will also be held during the festival. Here, prominent writers and historians like William Dalrymple and Nayanjot Lahiri will discuss the importance of Rajasthan’s built heritage and sustainability.
