Organized by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, the 3rd International Sufi Festival features singers and dancers from six countries. Those participating are Spain, Russia, Iran, Tunisia, Azerbaijan and India.

The Spanish presentation has the music of fabulous flamenco guitar and voice by Curro and Carlos Pinana from Spain that take viewers through a mystical journey into the depths of Flamenco, a culture whose moving spirit is music.
