Talking to the media at City Palace here, Sawai Padmanabh Singh said, “The Jaigarh Heritage Festival is a celebration of Jaipur’s rich and vibrant heritage — its art, music, craftsmanship, and history that make this city special. As the festival draws near, it is inspiring to see the fort become a living stage where Jaipur’s traditions are lived and experienced.
“This festival is a bridge between generations, welcoming contemporary expressions while honouring the legacy of our past,” he said.
Bringing in the perspective of Vedanta’s cultural vision, Group’s Director Priya Agarwal, said, “Vedanta is proud to support the Jaigarh Heritage Festival, a vibrant celebration of India’s cultural legacy.”
Sanjoy K. Roy, Managing Director, Teamwork Limited, said, “The Jaigarh Heritage Festival 2025 is an invitation for artists, scholars, and audiences to come together in the heart of Jaipur’s fort traditions. By reimagining Jaigarh Fort as a vibrant cultural space, we want to bring alive Rajasthan’s heritage in a living, evolving tradition. Each performance, workshop, and heritage walk will showcase Rajasthan’s deep-rooted artistry and spark meaningful conversations about preserving and celebrating our traditions for generations to come.”
The festival will bring together a rich blend of performances and experiences across the fort’s courtyards and open spaces, with morning concerts, including musical acts and groups such as Echoes of Rajasthan, Noor-e-Khusrau, Sarod at Dawn and One Size Fits All, followed by evening showcase, featuring the talents of Papon Live, Kabir Café, The Anirudh Varma Collective, and Roysten Abel’s acclaimed production “The Manganiyar Seduction”.
Rajasthan’s folk traditions will be showcased through the artistry of Nathoolal Solanki, Puppetshala and Shyopat Julia. Audiences will also be able to participate in immersive craft workshops, culinary explorations, heritage walks and curated conversations on sustainability, architecture, design and Jaipur’s evolving urban identity.
Festival – goers can also engage in immersive heritage walks, hands-on craft workshops, culinary masterclasses, and interactive conversations exploring architecture, sustainability, Rajasthan’s royal legacy, and contemporary urban identity. By reimagining Jaigarh as a space where history meets contemporary expression, the festival brings to life its core theme: heritage is not static memory but a vibrant, evolving force.
