Samaa

Set against the historic backdrop of Sunder Nursery, Samaa brought together leading artists for two evenings of Sufi and Bhakti-inspired music, celebrating devotional traditions and musical legacies that continue to resonate across generations.

Bebaak

Bebaak explored the contemporary expressions of Sufi and Bhakti thought through music, poetry, storytelling and movement, creating space for emerging perspectives and new interpretations of enduring cultural traditions.

Co-curated by Aadyam Handwoven, an initiative of the Aditya Birla Group.

Beyond the stages

Kargaah

Curated by the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Learning Partner.

Sufi heritage lives not only in music and poetry, but also in the artistic traditions and practices that surround it. Through hands-on workshops in printmaking, Urdu calligraphy, dervish-inspired crafts and folk percussion, Kargaah invited visitors to explore these traditions through creativity and participation.

The Sufi Bazaar

Curated by Yasmin Kidwai and Manish Saksena.

The Sufi Bazaar celebrated thoughtful craftsmanship and the cultural knowledge carried through handmade objects. Bringing together contemporary makers and traditional techniques, it offered visitors a space to discover artistry, creativity and the stories behind the things we make.

Legacy Flavours

Food is one of the ways culture travels across generations, preserving memories, traditions and shared histories. In collaboration with food tech partner QNO, Legacy Flavours brought together regional cuisines and culinary practices, celebrating flavours shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and community.
