Dates to be advised
Timed to coincide with "Sharad Purnima" the brightest full moon of the year in north India, Jodhpur RIFF features a series of spectacular concerts and events based in and around Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur. This colourful and vibrant event includes artists from around the world, but also focuses on providing a source of livelihood for the traditional artists of Rajasthan.
International and local musicians come together to play throughout the day, starting with dawn ragas at Jaswant Thada through to evening performances under the full moon. There are workshops and interactive sessions during the day with the musicians and incredible evening concerts encapsulating Rajasthani and international folk and roots music of the highest quality.
The festival is entirely outdoors with fantastic weather - wintry warmth in the afternoons and a pleasant chill in the evenings. Ranked among the top 25 music festivals in the world, Jodhpur RIFF is India's most significant roots music festival. A truly unmatched experience, unlike any other in the country.
This is an unaccompanied tour but if required Emma will offer advise prior to the event on how to get the most out of your stay. We can arrange transport and additional services whilst in Jodhpur.
Accommodation is always at a premium for the festival but we have rooms available at two properties during this period.
