YAKSHA FESTIVAL 2026
12, 13 & 14 Feb | 7 PM to 8:15 PM IST

An Exuberant Festival of Classical Music & Dance by World-renowned Artists

About Yaksha

India’s various art forms, which evolved over thousands of years, are not only a reflection of the diverse culture of this land but also a source of spiritual inspiration.

They have enriched this nation for generations but are quickly becoming a forgotten dimension of our life. In an endeavor to preserve and promote the uniqueness, purity and diversity of the country’s performing arts, Isha Foundation annually hosts Yaksha, a three-day festival of culture, music and dance with performances by renowned artistes.

Named after celestial beings in Indian mythology, Yaksha provides a platform for great artistes to perform and connoisseurs to appreciate these ancient arts performed by masters.
