At the heart of the festival lies a deeply rooted vision - bringing world music from across the globe to Indian audiences while simultaneously promotingand preserving forgotten musical instruments and traditional sounds of Rajasthan.

Morning performances at Manji Ka Ghat will focus on music rooted in meditation, introspection, and mental well-being set against the calm waters and serene surroundings of the ghat. As the day transitions, afternoon sessions at Fateh Sagar Paal, will explore a more romantic and emotive expression of music, creating an atmosphere of warmth, connection, and lyrical storytelling by the lake. The festival will culminate each evening at Gandhi Ground, bringing together high-energy, contemporary, and pop-driven sounds transforming the space into a vibrant celebration of rhythm, movement, and collective joy.
Reflecting on ten years of the festival journey, Sanjeev Bhargava, Founder, SEHER, said, “Completing ten years of the Vedanta Udaipur World Music Festival is both humbling and deeply fulfilling for all of us at SEHER. What started as a simple idea-to bring the world’s music closer to people in an open, inclusive, and culturally rich setting-has today become a global celebration of harmony, diversity, and shared human emotion. Udaipur, with its timeless beauty and welcoming spirit, has been the perfect home for this journey. As we mark a decade of the festival, we look forward to welcoming artists and audiences from across the world to come together once again and celebrate music in its purest, most joyful form.”
As the Vedanta Udaipur World Music Festival marks ten years of storytelling through sound, it has quietly grown into one of India’s most distinctive cultural gatherings. Set against the iconic lakes, ghats, and historic landscapes of Udaipur, the festival has consistently brought together artists and audiences from across countries creating a space where traditions meet, cultures converse, and music becomes a universal language.
