The festival, now in its 26th year, is dedicated to the legacy of Amir Khusrau and the mystical traditions of various Sufi saints. This year's theme, 'The Steed of Longing | Safar-e-Ishq Continues,' uses the horse as a metaphor for spiritual movement and longing.
The 2026 edition will feature renowned artists from the subcontinent, including Satinder Sartaj and Sukhwinder Singh, among others.
