Touted to be a "first of its kind event", the festival organised by Inter Globe foundation and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), saw concerts and conferences on the life of Rahim, who was also a translator and administrator in Mughal emperor Akbar's court. The festival emphasised on the need for reviving the works by poets like Rahim to spread the message of peace and harmony. The AKTC has undertaken the task of restoration of the Tomb of Khan-i-Khana in Nizamuddin East and said the restoration process is likely to be completed by 2018.
