It is a concert celebrating heirloom Indian Folk in its unique and original form. . Indian folklore and folk music is classical talent which many Indians remain unaware of. Given how vast and diverse the country is, and the fact that at about every 100 kilometers a different dialect is spoken, its musical traditions have been woefully neglected for lack of interest, knowledge and touristic value.

These songs are the mirror image of the unchanging legacy of different states, their culture, customs, beliefs and faith. Moreover, this is just not it. Every state has more than one kind of a folk. It varies from caste, to seasons with changing pattern of rhythms and lyrics. A diverse country that India is – imagine the rich collection of folk this country has.
