  • Susheela Raman & Ensemble: The globally acclaimed Susheela Raman will team up with Sam Mills, a pioneer in cross-cultural music, and Rajasthani maestros Nathoo Lal Solanki and Chugge Khan. This collaboration promises a spellbinding blend of international and Rajasthani folk traditions, coupled with Indian classical and experimental fusion.

Grand Finale: A Celebration of Innovation and Spirit (1st February)
The finale of Jaipur Music Stage 2025 will be nothing short of spectacular.
