Ellora-Ajanta International Festival Makes A Comeback After 7 Years

It’s been seven years since the last Ellora-Ajanta International Festival! Come February 25-27, 2023, the historic Soneri Mahal, a part of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University premises, will host the Ellora-Ajanta International Festival. It’s a great time to plan a trip to Aurangabad district. The Ellora-Ajanta International Festival was last held in 2016. And after seven years, the district authorities have decided to bring back the festival with pomp and show.


Before the main cultural extravaganza, a pre-festival event called ‘Purvarang’ will also take place on February 12 at the Sant Eknath Rang Mandir in Osmanpura, Aurangabad. The pre-festival event will have Marathi musical performances by popular artists as its main attraction. Apart from the Marathi musical extravaganza, there will also be Hindi and Sufi musical performances by notable artists.


This year, at the main three-day Ellora-Ajanta International Festival at Soneri Mahal, several notable local, national and international artists will showcase their amazing talents. If you are into traditional folk music, you must attend this festival.
