An intimate outdoor Sufi gathering

A continuum of culture where Delhi's Sufi spirit breathes in the present.

The Sufi Heritage Project exists because Sufi heritage deserves more than a festival. SHP is a year-round cultural platform building the spaces, formats and conversations that let a 700-year-old tradition breathe in the present.

Himanshu Anand

Two decades at the intersection of culture and commerce. Co-founder of the Sufi Heritage Festival, Himanshu builds platforms where ambitious cultural ideas find the audiences and partnerships they deserve.

Culture cannot survive if it is guarded. It survives when it is shared.
