About Us

Every year, as winter arrives, we celebrate the infinite wisdom of the 15th-century mystic-poet Kabir, in a city 'older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend', Varanasi. For the past eight years, we have embraced Kabir’s syncretic and often revolutionary philosophy on the banks of the Ganga. It’s time for the 9th milestone edition and another immersive, lyrical experience.

The Mahindra Kabira Festival has programmed great artists and thinkers like Prahlad Singh Tipaniya, Mukhtiyar Ali, Aruna Sairam, the Raghu Dixit Project, Indian Ocean, Anwar Khan Manganiar, Shabnam Virmani, Kabir Cafe, Kailash Kher, Shubha Mudgal, Mooralala, Malini Awasthi, Dastaan Live, Paresh Maity, Purushottam Agrawal, Linda Hess and looks forward to many more.

The upcoming edition will span classical and folk music, talks, art demonstrations, boat rides, local food trails, the quintessential Ganga Arati experience and heritage walks into the brimming bylanes of Varanasi.

Delegate Experience

The Mahindra Kabira Delegate experience is an unforgettable journey where each delegate is looked after with meticulous attention, and taken on a very special experiential trip of music, history, discourse, cuisine, conversation, and profound spiritual wisdom – all next to a timeless river in a city older than time…

Discover all that Mahindra Kabira Festival has to offer, beyond the music!

Loved listening to the melodious singing, watching the ganges flow by at 6:30 am in the morning

( - Delegate 2018 )

The river and the heritage walk, The Mornings by the Ganges, listening to Kabir while Benares goes about its daily activites - Loved it!

( - Delegate 2018 )

The 'Kabira' songs, the warm vibrant people, the river ganges, The event in this setting and the wonderful hospitality. I also liked walking along the ghats- but how can I forget the 'climbs' everyday. These have also made us fitter. A private dip in the 'sacred ganges' for ladies should be organised

( - Delegate 2018 )

The exposure to Banaras as a city - I learned that you can be happy amidst the chaos & confusion!

( - Delegate 2018 )
