Kashiyatra has had tremendous success over the years and has received a massive amount of involvement from people all across the world. In the previous editions of Kashiyatra, we have witnessed performances of artists like Ritviz, The Local Train, Uneven, KK, Saleem Sulaiman, Amit Trivedi, Zakir Khan, Aakash Gupta and many many more. There were breath-taking performances by overseas performers like ABout – The Malaysian Beatboxer, Tiny Fingers – Irish Circus Squarehead Productions, Ileana –  The Italian Odissi dancer and many others.

Day 1 of Kashiyatra will be graced by the soulful performance of Darshan Raval, who is surely going to mesmerize you with his euphonious voice. After this melodious musical night, the fest would take a humorous turn on day 2 as you will laugh out loud on the comedy nite. After two magnificent days of peaceful melodies and jaw-hurting giggles , on the 3rd day, everyone will be electrified by the energizing performance of Raftaar. He’ll be showing why he is referred to as the rap king.

Numerous gifted artists from all around the world exhibit their work at Kashiyatra. All of these performers will take part in the Kashiyatra International Carnival Event. There would be a vast variety of performers, including singers, beatboxers, magicians, and graffiti artists. Additionally, be prepared to be astounded by Varanasi’s native artists.

The ideology of Kashiyatra is to unite people from all over the globe, providing opportunities to enthusiasts, and making these 3 days the best days of the year for everyone. It’s not just a fest but a sentiment, an expression of liveliness. Kashiyatra is a platform for celebrating numerous art forms and a stage for igniting a fire inside one’s heart.
