Auroville was one of the first places to hold a Kabir Festival three years ago. Since then the association of various individuals from Auroville with the Kabir Project and its family has only grown. Inspired by the rich experiences of the Malwa Kabir Yatra in 2010 and 2011, Marc, Anne and a few others decided to put this edition of the Auroville Festival together with new and old faces from the folk singer community. This years festival has no tickets and will be open to all who wish to attend.
