Vivaan is a unique gathering where music, art, and nature converge to create an immersive and soulful experience. Since its inception in 2017, the festival has celebrated the universal language of sound, highlighting its ability to heal, uplift, and foster deep connections.
At the core of Vivaan is the handpan—an instrument known for its celestial, meditative tones that evoke tranquility and introspection. Whether played or simply experienced, its ethereal resonance invites a state of mindfulness and inner peace. Taking place from 14 to 16 February 2025, at Aralea Beach Resort in Morjim, Goa, the festival will feature over 40 global and Indian artists across three dynamic stages, offering more than 20 hours of live music. World-class musicians and visionary artists will come together to create an environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and shared harmony.
Beyond the music, attendees can participate in yoga sessions, sound healing, and flow arts, all designed to restore balance and energy. Handpan workshops provide opportunities for both beginners and experienced players to engage with the instrument, while community drum circles, ancient Indian art forms, and cultural showcases add to the festival’s diverse offerings.
