Ruhaniyat, the annual Sufi and Mystic Music festival will be here once again .

More than ever before, the works of the Sufi saints and mystics seem to be the need of the hour, where the world experiences all kinds of turmoil.

Ruhaniyat was born out of the desire to help the mind break free from the universal web of fear, terror, helplessness, indifference, hatred and selfishness. A brainchild of Mahesh Babu, director of Banyan Tree Events, Ruhaniyat has become a platform for unknown artists from all over the country and beyond.

After acquiring loyal audiences, and success for the last five years in Mumbai, the previous year in Hyderabad, and this year in Chennai and Pune, Ruhaniyat is now being presented once again to the connoisseurs of Hyderabad, with even more richness and grandeur.

Literally meaning soulfulness, Ruhaniyat is like a timely reminder of the human capacity to evolve and to love unconditionally.

Spread over two days, Ruhaniyat at Hyderabad features: Mystic Chants - Tibetan Monks,

Jagar - Bharat Gussain and Group (Uttaranchal), Jikir Jari, Sufi Songs - Hafeeza Begum Chaudhury & Group (Assam), Sufi kalam and Mystic Songs - Rana Khan, Mahesaram, Kachra Khan, Kulcham Bai and others (Rajasthan), Mystic Drums - Siddhi Goma (Drummers of Africa), Shastanpaattu - Singers from Kerala (Kerala), Baul Songs - Parvathy Baul and Madan Das Vairagya (Bengal),
