History
Triggered by the need to celebrate Bengal, and as an extension, India's root music, Dohar and Lopamudra Mitra Productions initiated the Sahaj Parav in 2014.
This is today one of India’s leading folk culture festival, that has found its unique place in Kolkata’s annual festival calendar.
On the stage of Sahaj Parav, folk artists from marginalised corners of Bengal collaborate and exchange their genre with leading musicians of the country. What makes Sahaj Parav standt out is how it isn’t the popular stars, but the folk musicians spending their lives away from the limelight, who become the true attractions of this event
