Rajasthan Kabir Yatra is a traveling spiritual journey where music, storytelling, satsang and community life come together. Beginning in the city and moving into the heart of villages, the Yatra is hosted entirely by local communities, making it a unique, community-driven celebration of cultural revival, unity and shared humanity. Till date, the Yatra has covered over 100 villages in more than 14 districts of Rajasthan.
