Event Description

A three-day festival of voices, images, and memories from Tibet, Where the Sky Meets the Himalayas invites audiences into the lived experience of a people shaped by exile, resilience, and enduring cultural identity. Through conversations, film, performance, visual art, and cuisine, the festival explores how Tibetans continue to tell their stories—across borders and generations.

Featuring writers, artists, performers, and community voices from Bangalore and beyond, the festival is a tribute to the strength of a culture that survives in song, ritual, memory, and the written word.
