Jashn-e- Rekhta is probably the only Urdu literature festival that has seen success this huge in a few years. A celebration of ghazals, story-telling, dance and music this three day festival only gets bigger and better every year. The festival hosted by Rekhta Foundation has seen prominent personalities like Javed Akhtar, Shubha Mudgal and Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali have graced the festival in the past and the lineup for this year is unmissable as well.
What To Expect At The Event?
The moment you enter the premises of the festival, it’s almost like getting transported into the world of Urdu literature. There are ‘mushaira’ sessions in one pavilion while a Sufi brand performing in another. There’s nothing that you’d want to miss out. To top it all, the Sufi night decor and the food stalls selling some scrumptious kebabs and more just make the Rekhta experience a memorable one.
What You’ll Love About The Event?
Almost everything about literature and music festivals is lovable. With Wadali Brothers taking over the evening on Inauguration Day, the lineup includes personalities like Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar in conversation about their fathers. While, Vishal Bhardwaj shares his insights, Nooran sisters are all set to close the final day. It’s not possible to give such eventful sessions a miss!
