Talking about artists from neighbouring countries like Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh taking part in the festival; Preeta says, "Kabi Raj Lama, Sussiman Nirmalavassan and Jeanno Gaussi among others have worked through the year to create the diverse range of artworks for the festival."

Touted as a "long-term cultural project", the festival will be displaying performances titled 'The Young Subcontinent', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Lucid Dreams', 'Open Site', 'Satrangi', 'Karavaan' among others.

"The audience will witness over 40 exciting projects celebrating the diversity in art with a special focus on music, dance, theatre, crafts, visual arts, culinary arts and photography," she added.
Taking place at the 1.8 km stretch along river Mandovi at a mix of indoor and outdoor locations, the six venues of the festival range from historic Portuguese structures to modernist marvels.
