Intrigued by all things Sufi but can’t get beyond the Whirling Dervishes? NCPA’s Sufi festival Sama’a is your one-stop guide to Sufism.

The three-day festival kickstarts on November 21 with an illustrated lecture titled ‘From Quest to Astonishment, then Nothingness: Sufis as seen by the Indian painter’. It will be presented in association with the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. Eminent art historian Dr B N Goswamy will provide an insight on Sufism as interpreted by Indian painters.
