This folk music festival, which travels across the rural regions of Rajasthan between 2 and 8 October every year, is a place for musicians, artists, scholars, students and seekers to immerse themselves in the worlds of Bhakti and Sufi poetry. Featuring over 30 performers, Rajasthan Kabir Yatra was inspired by spiritual traditions such as the jaagran\/satsang, an all-night event where singers from different communities come together to sing and discuss the works of poet-saints such as Kabir, Mirabai and Bulleh Shah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hindustani classical vocalist Madhup Mudgal, folk singer Prahlad Singh Tipaniya, filmmaker Shabnam Virmani and folk-fusion acts such as Neeraj Arya\u2019s Kabir Cafe and Vedanth Bharadwaj have been part of previous editions of Rajasthan Kabir Yatra. Non-profit Lokayan Sansthan, in partnership with the Rajasthan Police and the Department of Tourism, stages the festival, which was launched in 2012 and was held annually from 2016 to 2019.
