The Shekhawati Utsav Momasar is held in Momasar, a picturesque village town in the Shekhawati region, Rajasthan. Each year the village around the time of Diwali hosts the extraordinary music and arts festival, attracting thousands of people who crowd the streets, milling between the open-air stages and Havelis. This festival brings together over 200 folk artists and artisans from across seven cultural regions in Rajasthan. The objective of the festival is to conserve the indigenous music and craft forms of Rajasthan and give the artists national & global exposure and opportunities for sustained employment and income generation for them. The concerts, congregations and exhibitions are organized at unpretentious venues – a Haveli (traditional mansion), an old temple of village deity and an open field next to a johad (traditional water harvesting structure). Celebrations flow through the streets and narrow by-lanes of the entire town. The festival is so structured that visitors mingle freely with artists and local residents, enriching experience for all of them. Visitors are able to take a deep dive into these traditional art forms through intense interactions with the artists.

Come, witness the unseen and experience the unalloyed traditions of this small but rich land!
