नवरात्र को पहाड़ी में नौर्त कहा जाता है इसलिए हम ला रहे हैं आपके बीच नौर्त-Utsav, जो कि संगम है विभिन्न संस्कृतियों का। The Kumaon Fest 2026 brings an extraordinary three-day celebration celebrating the folk spirit of Uttarakhand.
From resonant traditional Ransingha and Dhol Damau to soulful poetry, breathtaking Aipan art, and local culinary masterpieces, Naurt-Utsav is Kumaon's premier cultural spectacle.
More Than A Festival — A Movement
The Kumaon Fest is an awareness-cum-charity event to raise awareness and funds for the initiatives we work on to serve stray animals — including the Safaachat Campaign, Adopt a Plant, and more — which our team has been running for the last 5 years.
