Kirtan virtuoso Krishna Das returns to India for a five-city tour this October

[[{“value”:”

Following a series of massive, sold-out performances during his previous visit, Grammy-nominated global chant icon Krishna Das is set to return to India for an expansive five-city tour in October and November 2026.

The tour will bring the legendary artist’s soul-stirring, East-meets-West devotional music back to its spiritual roots.
 
Krishna Das has spent over three decades bridging ancient Indian spiritual traditions with contemporary Western music sensibilities. The upcoming 2026 tour promises to be his most immersive live experience in the region yet, transcending cultural, musical and geographical boundaries.
 
The highly anticipated five-city tour, produced and presented by Team Innovation Cultural, kicks off in the nation’s capital, New Delhi, on October 23, before heading to the western region, starting with a performance in Mumbai on October 25, followed by in Pune on October 30, followed by a stop in Ahmedabad on November 1, before culminating in a grand finale in the south, Bengaluru, on November 4.
 
Each tour stop will feature a central 2.5-hour primary kirtan performance. Moving away from the structure of a standard concert, these performances rely heavily on the hypnotic, communal power of traditional call-and-response (bhajan) chanting of sacred Sanskrit mantras and divine names. To maintain a continuous musical and meditative flow, spoken commentary will be kept to a minimum. The performances require no prior experience or spiritual background, focusing instead on the universal human connection established through collective singing and deep acoustic resonance.
 
Krishna Das states, “Returning to India is always a profound experience for me. The devotion and openness of the audiences here continue to inspire me every time I visit. My hope is that these chants create a space where people can reconnect with the love, compassion, and peace that already exist within their own hearts. In these challenging times, coming together through sacred sound reminds us that we are never truly separate.”
 
Mohit Bijlani, founder, Team Innovation states, “Krishna Das’ unique ability to unite people through music, devotion, and shared experience continues to resonate deeply across generations.”
 
Sidhartha Todi, founder, 7Entertainment and co-founder, UNI7IED states, “Krishna is one of those rare artists whose performances transcend music and become deeply transformative experiences. This tour is about creating moments of genuine connection, where music, spirituality, and community come together in a way that leaves a lasting impact.”
 
Tickets for all five cities will be available exclusively via District by Zomato.
