Kinare Dariya Pawna
27 February – 2 March 2026
- Raga’s to Rhythm
- Classical to Ghazal
- Retro to Modern
- Concerts and Conversations
Set by the still waters of Pawna, in the Western Ghats, Kinare Dariya’s third edition finds its natural home. Water, landscape and music come together—creating a music haven amidst nature.
Aptly, Kinare Dariya 3rd Edition, is therefore themed as
Peace, Purity and Joy
PEACE
Peace at Kinare Dariya comes from slowing down. Take in the morning ragas, unhurried alaaps – as music turns inward….allowing quiet thinking. Notes unfold at their own pace…unhurried, pure, beautiful. Meditate, or just relax in nature and let the music engulf you with peace.
PURITY
Purity here means staying close to the source. In a region rich in classical forms, folk and so much more, pure gharana voices find a stage amongst nature. Hear the magic of brilliant artists—with a music lineage unparalleled.
JOY
Joy arrives with rhythm and spirit…..as colours and sounds of the season begin to sparkle. Against the lush backdrop, joy becomes a shared emotion…in listening, laughter and spontaneity. We celebrate renewal, community, and the simple pleasure of being together.
Live. Laugh. Celebrate.
