CLASSIC BAGH FESTIVAL
Subject : Culture
Context : Classic Bagh Festival all set to captivate music and nature lovers in the national capital.
Concept :
- The Classic Bagh Festival, a symbol of UK-India creative collaboration, is all set to captivate music and nature lovers in the national capital today
- Set within the grounds of Sunder Nursery, Delhi, the Classic Bagh Festival is a unique and intimate festival.
- Designed as an immersive and environmentally-conscious experience, the free one-day festival (on from 6 am till 10 pm today) has been developed as a site-conscientious response to the luscious green setting of Sunder Nursery and its broader location within Nizamuddin, celebrating Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya’s vision of pluralism and kindness, and the legacy and contribution to Hindustani music of his favourite disciple, father of Qawaali and Urdu literature, Hazrat Ameer Khusrau.
- Open to visitors of Sunder Nursery, it hopes to highlight the importance of community and celebrate inclusiveness.
- Presented by Jodhpur RIFF and British Council, in association with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, the festival supports Indian artistes and festival sector professionals impacted by Covid-19.
