November 2017

Let’s make living a celebration,” says Aarti Ahuja, referring to the Tatava Lifestyle Festival, with its first edition being held on 26th November 2017 at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.

Tatava Lifestyle Festival is a happy music and arts festival. Delhi based Aarti Ahuja is a poet, writer, psychologist, NLP practitioner, Advanced Life Coach and a big foodie. She is passionate about music and writing, and has collaborated with Sumit Lamba to curate this festival. Sumit is a veteran from hospitality and music industry, with 15 years experience in different domains like marketing, business development, and artist management. He is the marketing consultant for the festival and has conceptualised the entire event. For Aarti and Sumit, this festival is a ‘gift of happiness’ that they would like to give to the society.

Understanding the amount of stress impacting our lives and other dynamically changing social scenarios, Tatava Lifestyle Festival aims to break monotony of life and bring mind-body-soul together. The aim is to engage all the five senses actively to eventually experience happiness. The duo’s vision is to take the festival across India. In its first edition, the festival will feature motivational speakers, art, poetry and music. The morning notes will be played out by international artists Juani Martinez and Yudi who will be doing a live set on saxophone. Further in the day, a panel of motivational speakers will engage the audience in a conversation regarding body-mind-soul wellness.

The list of motivational speakers includes names such as Onkar Khullar aka Digital Gandhi, Fakeera Freedom Coach, Dr Gaurav Deka who is a Psychotherapist and Regression Therapist, and Nipa Asharam adding happiness by un-boxing the regular thought. Artists like Divya Dureja and Chitwan Singh will also be a part of this curation where the latter will capture Tatava on canvas in a live art work. Specially curated food and shopping experience is going to be another interesting aspect of this lifestyle festival. The evening programmes will feature live bands such as ‘Komorebi’ and Neeraj Arya’s Kabir Cafe. With her spectacular fire dance show, artist Purna Shakti will strive to light the fire of passion in the audiences while ‘India’s Got Talent’ fame artist Pradip Vidhate will belly-dance his way to happiness. The audience will also get to listen to popular DJs like Snow Flakes (Flash Over Recordings), Bomb Bay and Mind Pirates GOA (World People Production, France) on one stage. These artists are going to redefine happiness for you, through their art, dance and music, in an effort to help you harmonise your body-mind-soul and reach out to the tatva (essence) of living well.   What is in it for you: • Eclectic programme of exciting music and art. • An intimate party on a Sunday. • Local craft beer, wine and spirits. • Some of the best street foods in the country. • Outstanding decor and fire show. • A chance to reconnect with mind, body and soul to be happy. • Something for all age-groups.
