Sur Jahan

Sur Jahan is a three-day annual World Peace Music Festival held in Kolkata and Goa. It was earlier known as Sufi Sutra and works on the motto of "Music For Peace, Music For All". The festival will be held on the first weekend of February in Kolkata, hosting artists from more than four nations this year. It is a non ticketed and a non-commercial festival which provides for one daytime workshop and one evening concert of each international group participating. For Sufi lovers, there is nothing better than the Sufi Sutra International Sufi Music Festival. By including at least 5-6 international bands and three national bands in every edition, it just promises to get bigger and better in the coming years.

About The World Peace Music Festival

The festival aims at celebrating cultural plurality and uniqueness. It provides a platform for cultural exchange and dialogue and helps to create awareness about cultural diversity and works for its preservation. The festival was initiated, designed and implemented by Banglanatak dot com, a 16-year-old Kolkata based UN recognised social enterprise aiming for cultural preservation. The first edition of Sur Jahan was held in 2011, and since then it has seen the active participation of 21 countries and 12 Indian States.

In addition to music artists, the festival also provides an impetus to traditional rural handicraft and folk artists. The festival has thus created numerous avenues for collaboration and assimilation of art. It has been recognised as the "people's festival" and has emerged as a Headliner Festival in both Kolkata and Goa.

The biggest highlight of the festival is the jam and melodious crescendo by all the teams which marks the end to the festival.
After the three days melodious journey in Kolkata, the festival goes to Goa (6th-th February 2024). The festival has been growing since its inception and is a huge success in Kolkata as well as in Goa.
The festival is one of its kind and a delight for those interested in art and culture!
