“TCS Ruhaniyat – Seeking the Divine”, Banyan Tree’s flagship festival, continues its 25th edition journey this winter in Bengaluru on 24th January 2026 (Saturday, 6:15 PM) at the Jayamahal Palace Hotel.
In its uninterrupted journey of over two decades, TCS Ruhaniyat has provided a platform to innumerable folk artists from distant corners of India, while also showcasing rich performing art traditions from various parts of the world. The festival has grown into an annual celebration of music, mysticism, unity, peace and surrender, bringing alive messages of spiritual masters and impacting audiences across several Indian cities through the power of performing arts.
Supported by Tata Consultancy Services, the event is described as a collective exercise of turning inward and experiencing a common consciousness, where boundaries between performers and audiences are erased.
This year, Bengaluru will witness a coming together of traditions that have existed for centuries, passed down through generations, keeping the spirit of devotion and surrender alive. The evening will feature a soulful confluence of music and mysticism through diverse performances, including:
- A Glimpse of Baul Worldview: Uttam Das Baul
