Sufi Festival 2024, Jodhpur

Sufism goes beyond religion. It’s a direct connect with the Creator in the quest for personal enlightenment and self realization, transcending churches, temples, mosques and their rituals. It finds expression in mystical poetry, music and dance. The World Sacred Spirit Festival in Rajasthan brings together amazing artists from across India and around the world in a stunning royal setting. The 2024 edition of the festival will once again be held at the breathtaking Nagaur Fort (19th-21st February) before moving to the massive Mehrangarh Fort perched above the city of Jodhpur (23rd-25th February). Days and nights of magical music, dance, and poetry promise an unforgettable experience.

ITINERARY (04 nights)

Jodhpur in the heart of Rajasthan was the capital of the erstwhile Marwar kingdom and is famous for handicrafts, curios, and durries. The Mehrangarh Fort towering over the city is one of the largest and best maintained forts in the country. This is the venue for the Sufi Festival in Jodhpur. While the festival at Nagaur is more exclusive, intimate and accessible only to resident guests, the 3 night event at Mehrangarh is open to a larger audience. Stay at one of our recommended hotels - you will have a car and driver to ferry you to the festival and around Jodhpur. Discover the charms of Jodhpur, explore the local bazaars, and enjoy the festival in the spectacular setting of the fort.
