About
Our Story
The journey of our festival began with a deep reverence for Nalanda’s wisdom—an ancient center of learning that shaped the intellectual and spiritual traditions of the world. Inspired by its legacy of knowledge, discourse, and cultural exchange, we envisioned a platform where minds from diverse backgrounds could come together to celebrate the power of ideas.
The Legacy
Nalanda stands as one of the worlds greatest centers of learning—a beacon of intellectual pursuit, philosophical inquiry, and cultural exchange that flourished for centuries. Founded in the 5th century CE, Nalanda was more than just a university; it was a melting pot of ideas, attracting scholars and seekers from across Asia, including China, Tibet, Korea, and Persia.
Who We Are
At the heart of this festival is a passionate team of scholars, artists, writers, and cultural enthusiasts dedicated to reviving the timeless wisdom of Nalanda. We are a diverse group of visionaries who believe in the power of knowledge, storytelling, and intellectual exchange to shape a better world.
