For decades, Delhi has been the land of Sufi movement and served as a muse to Sufi luminaries like Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, Amir Khusrau, Mirza Ghalib, and Dara Shikoh. Celebrating this Sufi legacy, rooted in the spiritual ethos of love, unity, and enlightenment, is the first edition of the Sufi Heritage Festival, HELD AT Sunder Nursery in Delhi and organised by the Sufi Heritage Project in Delhi in collaboration with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). “For over two decades the inter-disciplinary AKTC team had undertaken conservation of built heritage in the Humayun’s Tomb – Nizamuddin area. This effort has always been coupled with reviving the pluralist intangible heritage of music, cuisine andcraft associated with this sacred landscape. The Sufi heritage festival aims to showcase authentic Sufi experiences, which in future years will also draw upon our work from across India and abroad,” says Ratish Nanda, CEO of AKTC, India.
