Being India’s first ecologically-crafted music festival, Echoes of Earth believes in the Earth to Earth philosophy which entails a deep commitment to the planet. At Echoes of Earth, architects and artists from the world over will collaborate to showcase their art using the practices of upcycling and recycling. Also part of the festival is Vadya Vithika, a museum of lost folk and tribal ethno-musical instruments, a property of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. This is a revival and a look-back of sorts to some truly exotic musical tools that have come to be lost over the years.

A festival that celebrates music from around the world with a focus on the environment and sustainable living. Our Endeavour is to reduce, reuse, recycle, and upcycle.
