Over the last 21 years, The Sacred River Festival has presented a broad range of artists from all over India. This year we have chosen younger artistes from the State of Madhya Pradesh, wishing to give them the opportunity to share their art with our guests at Ahilya Fort and the citizens of Maheshwar.
