Speak • Express • Connect

This November, the vibrant world of art, culture, and conversations came alive at Kala Mahotsav 2025, hosted at the National Crafts Museum, New Delhi. SAMVAAD Connect proudly curated Open SAMVAAD — a space where authentic voices found expression and creative journeys were celebrated. From poets, artists, storytellers, musicians, and designers to craftspersons and changemakers from diverse social domains, the platform brought together creators from across the country, each sharing their truth, talent, and spirit.

The event emerged as a remarkable success, with the presence of numerous artists, participants, and dignitaries who added depth and inspiration to every moment. This impactful celebration was made possible by the dedicated efforts of the core team — Megha Rastogi (Art Curator), Simmi Kapoor (International Thread Artist & Classical Dancer), and Dheeraj Sharma (Internationally Renowned Artist) — whose vision transformed the festival into a meaningful confluence of creativity, community, and conversation.
