Jashne Rekhta

Jashn-e-Rekhta is a three-day celebration of our Hindustani language, literature & cultural heritage, held annually in Delhi under the aegis of the Rekhta Foundation, a not-for-profit organization devoted to the preservation and promotion of the languages and literature of the Indian sub-continent .

Within the last five years, Jashn-e-Rekhta has left behind the trappings of a festival to emerge as an excellent celebration of Hindustani language, its rich heritage and eclectic art forms. The event includes splendid musical performances of ghazals and qawwalis by renowned artistes. Additional activities include dastangoi, sufi renditions, panel discussions, poetry recitations and enriching conversations. Rekhta bazaar showcases artifacts, merchandise and a book fair. Another highlight of the festival is “Aiwan-i-Zaiqa”, a curated food fiesta that offers various Indian cuisines for the foodie in you.

The festival has been graced by doyens of Hindustani poetry and literature and also by people of eminence from the film, music and television industry..
