"Dheere dheere re mana, dheere sab kuch hoye Mali seeche sau ghada, rutu aayein, fal hoye"This doha by Sant Kabir Das which talks about things happening at their pace and work gradually bearing fruit struck a chord with many on a fresh Sunday morning, alongside the Mula-Ramnadi confluence near Baner. Hundreds of people gathered at the sangam for the Pune Kabir Festival to soak in the writings of Kabir, music and art, surrounded by greenery. “This is the best place I’ve ever witnessed a musical performance at,” said Niranjan, one of the attendees, who also highlighted the significance of Kabir’s literature and its connection with the environment.
The venue for the event, organised by Baithak Foundation in collaboration with the Ecological Society and Nadi Bachao movement, was chosen to create awareness about the river and its ecosystem with a blend of musical performances. The festival also featured performances by young classical musicians at IISER on Sunday evening. One of the highlights was a performance by Prahlad Tipanya, who performs Kabir’s bhajans in Malwi style.
