TCS RUHANIYAT… Seeking the Divine
The Calendar has announced, the festive season is here. Time of celebrations and cheer. But there is no sense of joy within. The heart is ruffled and mind disturbed. For each new day is splashing news you never wanted to hear. Humanity seems to be going though worst of times. Calamities, disasters, natural and manmade. Such overwhelming proportions.
An ever-expanding web is spreading fast… a web entangling all. A web of fear, anger, hatred, distrust, greed … Unending seems the list.
Oh, so elusive harmony & peace! Where to find solace, how to make sense, how to balance, how to centre, to align, to find hope, find peace…
The immortal works of great Saints & realised Masters seem to have answers. All that is needed is an open heart and receptive mind.
For the 24th consecutive year TCS Ruhaniyat is back with such powerful, potent works of great saints from across India and around the world. Works that help you cut open the stifling web. Works that set the mind free and fill the heart with hope and peace. And, we sure hope subtly but steadily a ripple effect is created, delicate yet strong enough to find and connect with peace and joy within; even if for those few hours.
Thanks to the continued support of the National Presenting Partner, Tata Consultancy Services, Ruhaniyat will once again present rare gems of living traditions from across India, bringing alive the amazingly rich works of great masters which are an integral part of our intangible heritage that has travelled down millennia, mostly orally passed down from generation to generation. And, as always in this 24th edition too we will feature artists from other countries as well.
Brainchild of Mahesh Babu, Founder Director of Banyan Tree Events, as always, this one of its kind festivals will be presented in just as unique open-air venues in all the 8 cities. This year the caravan will start in the month of November 2024 in Delhi and then covering Ahmedabad, it will be presented in Mumbai in December 2024. In January 2025, TCS Ruhaniyat will travel to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chennai to reach the finale in Pune in February.
Besides enchanting Indian presentations, some totally unheard of and some very popular; specially curated Global Productions in each city will bring alive melting of boundaries to create Musical bridges of Universal brotherhood, love, harmony, peace & joy! These will have artists from guest countries like Mongolia, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey, UAE, Egypt and Taiwan.
From India we have some unique first- time presentations as well as some of the artists and forms will be presented again.
Through its journey of more than two decades, TCS Ruhaniyat has become more than just a multi-city festival of rare forms and music. Today, it is a platform to discover rare forms & talents which has managed to revive some near extinction forms. And, more than anything else, through its powerful body of work and loyal audience across the country, it also connects the hearts by melting rigid boundaries. Naturally, the festival is among the most awaited events in India and according to the audiences it brings peace, calm and joyous serenity.
