The Mahindra Kabira Delegate Experience
For the past seven years, as the weather turns nippy in Northern India, we celebrate the infinite wisdom of the 15th-century mystic poet, Kabir, in a city older than time, older than tradition, older even than legend', Varanasi.
The delegates spend three memorable days soaking in Kabir’s syncretic philosophy – with music, literature, and discourse - on the banks of the eternal river, Ganga.
For Mahindra Kabira Festival Delegates, the experience is like embracing the ‘Kabir’ way of life, finding that elusive peace which we constantly seek in the endless humdrum of our routine existence.
Morning Music
Begin your day at Mahindra Kabira with an invigorating and a soul-cleansing Morning Music Programme, featuring Kabir veterans who will perform on Guleria Ghat in the mornings of both festival days.
Morning Music is a part of the Festival Experience
and is open to all.
Evening Music
Mahindra Kabira days will end with their swashbuckling finale – get onto boats to travel to the destination of the Mahindra Kabira Evening Music Programme. Musicians will be staged on the river under the stars; let go, give in to the moment as you experience the magic of music on the banks of a timeless river, thronging with people, colour, sound and melody, redolent of a mighty past and a history of coming together of diverse cultures.
Evening Music is a part of the Festival Experience
and is open to all.

The Mahindra Kabira Delegate Experience
Varanasi, with its gentle, unhurried way of life and ancient wisdom, is the perfect place to find that elusive peace which we constantly seek in the frenzy of our routine lives. The gentle rhythm of the river provides the perfect balm for frayed nerves even as Kabir’s philosophy envelopes us in its essential inclusiveness.
For two days, the Festival becomes the focal point with transcendental music on the historic ghats. As you take in the sights, you will find ash-smeared sadhus singing in deep sonorous voices, devotees milling about to bathe in and worship the eternal river, people lost in complex yoga postures, and tea stalls selling steaming kullads of chai.
Whether you come alone or with friends, you can look forward to making connections with kindred souls from around the world. Soak in the music, walk the winding alleys, hunt the bazaars for wooden toys, exquisite weaves and crafts, and spoil your taste buds with a range of sharp, tangy and sweet ‘Banarasi’ treats on the Festival menu.
