Gurugram (Haryana) [India], February 6:The Divine Drop Festival, held on 31 January in Gurugram, was curated with the intent of presenting Hindu spirituality as a multi-generational cultural experience, moving away from the traditional bhajan-only format that has long defined devotional events. Organisers said the festival was designed to bring together audiences across age groups, combining devotion with music, performance, poetry and ritual, in an effort to make cultural and spiritual expressions more immersive and accessible to younger audiences while retaining traditional roots. The programme began with an auspicious Ganesh Vandana, followed by a Sri Krishna-themed dance performance. A live set by Brythm - The Band introduced contemporary musical elements within the devotional framework. A large-scale Hanuman act emerged as one of the key highlights, particularly engaging children and families. Poet Phycoshayar presented verses centred on Lord Ram, followed by a Hanuman Chalisa dance performance. The later segment of the event featured a Shiv Tandav act, after which a Ganga Aarti, performed by pundits from Varanasi, recreated ritual traditions on stage. The festival concluded with the collective chanting of "Om Jai Jagdish Aarti." The Divine Drop Festival was conceptualised and directed by Vineet Kumar, Director of Weez Bhakti, and hosted by RJ Rocky, with support from Seed Bliss by YAMS and Pomsse. Organisers said the format reflected an effort to present Hindu traditions as inclusive, experiential and relevant across generations, rather than limited to conventional devotional programming.
