Introduction
Every Winter, Nagpur transforms into a stage that celebrates the soul of India — the Khasdar Sanskrutik Mahotsav.
Held under the guidance of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, this 12-day cultural extravaganza brings together art, music, literature, and laughter, uniting thousands of people in the spirit of culture and creativity.
This year, from 7th to 18th November 2025, Nagpur will once again witness performances by India’s finest artists, from soulful singers to celebrated poets, powerful dramas to devotional evenings.
The Heart of the Mahotsav
Held at Ishwar Deshmukh College Ground, Hanuman Nagar, Nagpur this year’s Mahotsav (November 7–18, 2025) promises to be even bigger and brighter.
With free digital passes available online, the festival opens its doors to everyone, from local families to art lovers, students, and music enthusiasts across the region.
A Stage for Every Art Form
Each day at Khasdar Mahotsav unfolds like a new story. One evening you might find yourself immersed in the soulful voice of Shreya Ghoshal, and the next, tapping your feet to Ajay-Atul’s high-energy beats.
Beyond music, the Mahotsav celebrates theatre, folk dance, poetry, and traditional art forms, showcasing talent from across Maharashtra and India.
It’s a space where legends perform alongside emerging artists, where local dance groups share the spotlight with national icons, reminding everyone that art truly has no boundaries.
More Than Entertainment, A Cultural Movement
The Mahotsav isn’t just about stages and spotlights. It’s about connecting communities.
It brings together local vendors, food stalls, artists, NGOs, and thousands of citizens, creating a buzzing ecosystem of creativity and livelihood.
It has become a symbol of Nagpur’s growing cultural identity, encouraging the younger generation to take pride in their traditions while embracing modern art forms.
