Event Description : Mushaira Jashn-e-Bahar – 2013.
Now in its 15th year, mushaira Jashn-e-Bahar is the only non-official and non-political mushaira of the capital city of India. The biggest such event to be held in Delhi, it has traveled to several places across India. The mushaira celebrates the joy of the season and of creativity as expressed through the Urdu Verse. It continues to be organized with the sole objective of keeping alive and nurturing the traditions of Urdu Ghazal and Nazm that were born in and have flourished in the soil of Hindustan.
Promoting amity and friendship among the people of the subcontinent through poetry, this international mushaira brings together around one score of the finest Urdu Poets, from different parts of South Asia and from those parts of the globe where the Indian Diaspora has left its mark. The purpose is to keep alive the tradition of a poetic dialogue between poets and their audience and also to contribute to the efforts of taking Urdu to a wider cross-section through filming and audio-visual documentation of the event.
The mushaira, the publication of the Jashn-e-Bahar Souvenir and the production of the Video and Audio Recordings of the mushaira are annual activities of the Jashn-e-Bahar Trust.

Chief Guest : Hon’ble Minister of Communication and Information Technology, Kapil Sibal

Presided by : Chairman, Press Council of India, Justice Markandey Katju


Organised with the support of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), Delhi Public School, Mathura Road, Usha International, Tata Services, Sulabh International Social Service Organisation, Takshila, M R Morarka Foundation, Overseas Infrastructure Alliance, RKBK Fiscal Services Pvt Ltd and Sun Foundation
