Reviving the Soul of Ramgarh Shekhawati
Greetings and welcome from Shruti Foundation to the Vedaaranya Heritage and Healing Festival or VHAH FEST 2026 at Ramgarh Shekhawati, Rajasthan!
The festival is an integral part of the dream to revive this unique region of India which had been abandoned by some of the richest Seths (merchants) of India almost a century ago, throwing its economic and social order into chaos and disintegration. Today history beckons again as we rediscover the enchantment of the painted walls of Ramgarh Shekhawati and the great culture and heritage of this unique town that was once a great Centre of learning, and was thus called Doosra Kashi.
