Virasat - the Festival of India

This October…
Dehradun is calling you. ❤️

Not just to visit.
Not just to watch.
But to feel India.

This October, the hills are getting ready for something truly special Virasat 2026. A celebration where music meets tradition, where stories come alive through dance, where crafts carry generations of wisdom, and where every evening becomes a memory worth taking home. ❤️

For 31 years, Virasat has brought together some of the finest artists, musicians, dancers and artisans from India and around the world - creating a space where our living heritage can be experienced, celebrated and passed on.

From soulful Sufi, Ghazal and Qawwali evenings to the timeless beauty of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music…
From the vibrant folk traditions of Uttarakhand to classical dance forms like Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Kuchipudi and Mohiniyattam…
From handcrafted treasures made by artisans across India to flavours from different regions of the country there is something waiting for everyone. ✨

🗓️ 23 October - 6 November 2026

Where music, art, crafts, food and the mountains come together in one unforgettable experience. 🏔️🎶

So gather your people.
Bring your family.
Call your friends.
Take that trip you’ve been postponing.

Because some experiences are not meant to be watched on a screen.

They are meant to be lived.
