Experience the Soul of Bharat at the Silver Jubilee Edition of Folk Fair 2027!
For twenty-five remarkable years, Folk Fair has stood as a national movement dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and promoting India’s vibrant tribal and folk heritage. As Shree Shrikhetra Soochana (SSS) proudly presents the Silver Jubilee – 25th Folk Fair 2027, we invite you to be part of a historic celebration under the inspiring theme:
“25 Years of Celebrating the Atma of Bharat”
More than an exhibition or cultural festival, Folk Fair is a living tribute to the indigenous communities whose traditions have shaped the very foundation of Indian civilization. Their music, dance, art, craftsmanship, rituals, languages, and way of life embody the timeless spirit of Bharat—one that celebrates harmony with nature, community, resilience, and cultural diversity.
Over the past twenty-five years, Folk Fair has evolved into one of India’s premier national platforms for tribal and folk culture, bringing together artists, artisans, cultural practitioners, scholars, institutions, and visitors from across the country. Every performance, every handcrafted creation, and every tradition showcased at the Fair reflects the enduring legacy of communities that have safeguarded India’s cultural wealth across generations.
The Silver Jubilee Edition honours this extraordinary journey while embracing the future. It is a celebration of India’s indigenous wisdom and living traditions that continue to inspire innovation, sustainability, and social harmony in a rapidly changing world. Folk Fair serves as a bridge between generations, connecting ancient knowledge with contemporary audiences and ensuring that these priceless cultural treasures continue to flourish.
Rooted in the vision of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat, Folk Fair fosters national integration through cultural exchange and mutual respect. By bringing together diverse tribal and folk communities on one common platform, it strengthens the bonds of unity in diversity while creating greater visibility, dignity, and sustainable opportunities for indigenous artists and artisans.
Presented by Shree Shrikhetra Soochana (SSS), a non-profit voluntary organisation established in 1998 and committed to preserving tribal identity, indigenous heritage, and cultural traditions, the Fair continues its mission of safeguarding India’s living heritage through meaningful public engagement, education, exhibitions, performances, and collaborative partnerships.
As we commemorate 25 glorious years, we celebrate not only an enduring legacy but also a renewed commitment to the future—where every tribal song, every folk dance, every handcrafted masterpiece, and every cultural tradition continues to inspire generations to come.
The Indian tribals despite their poverty and poor living conditions and some of them on the throes of extinction have something extraordinarily original and unique to offer to the rest of the world. There is no denying that their art and culture, which have involved through centuries, bear the stamp of their ideas and thoughts best expressed in their community songs and various dance forms.
