TCS Ruhaniyat 2025 – Seeking the Divine
Celebrating 25 years, Banyan Tree’s Ruhaniyat returns with its landmark edition, presenting timeless messages of mystics and saints across centuries. Recognized as India’s only national festival of its kind, Ruhaniyat continues to preserve, celebrate, and revive rare spiritual and folk traditions from the remotest regions of the country.
Hosted across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Pune, the festival has introduced countless unheard living traditions and supported artists carrying near-extinction art forms. With continued support from Tata Consultancy Services, Ruhaniyat has also featured artists from more than 30 countries, building strong cultural bridges rooted in unity and universal brotherhood.
This year’s edition brings powerful collaborations under the theme “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, blending Indian and international artists from Brazil, China, Italy, South Africa, Gambia, and Egypt. Each city will feature a uniquely curated global production showcasing harmony beyond borders.
The 25th edition also presents several rare Indian forms such as Paakh (Jammu), Gaatha (Punjab), Ninda Stuti & Jonana (Odisha), Tukkha Gaan (West Bengal), mystical Ugabhogas (Karnataka), and Nanthuni Pattu (Kerala). Artists like Parvathy Baul, Kachra Khan, and the Warsi Brothers return in honour of their long-standing contribution to Ruhaniyat.
Experience a soul-stirring journey of music, devotion, and timeless heritage — a reminder of peace, hope, and harmony in today’s world.
