With a clear vision to uplift and promote rural tourism - The Majuli Music festival is here to provide enthusiasts a plethora of experience through music, art, culture, and food. It aims to protect music and culture, inviting tourists from all over the world. The multi-genre music festival hopes to evolve as one of the country’s most beloved musical weekends where music lovers converge for an unforgettable experience.

Mukul Doley the brain behind the music festival. Mukul and his team have worked hard for over two years to make the Majuli music festival more than a concert. They are focusing on to save their beautiful island from extinction with the theme of "Music for change".

“The idea of organising a music festival started 3 years ago. I am from Majuli and love singing and composing (not professionally) and wanted to give something back to my island’’ said Mukul Doley.

Artists who will play at the venue, such as when chai meets toast, Abhi Saikia, Nilotpal Bora, Island warrior, Fuzz culture, Project Bartalaap, Folkswagon. Head to the beautiful place Majuli, to catch amazing live performances by artists from India. One great festival, a lifetime of memories. From 15th Nov 2019, the three days music festival will start at Borpomua Gaon, Jengraimukh, Majuli Island, Assam. This is a fun-filled extravaganza music fest where each day would be an exploration of artistic elements involving exhibition, adventurous activities, and many more.

As we all know, Majuli is the largest inhabited river island in the world. This island is the center of Assamese civilization and is home to Neo-Vaishnavite culture. The island has a large number of monasteries or Satras, which represent neo-vaishnavite culture. The festival displays the rich culture of Assam and the beauty of the region. Its beautiful location has already captured global attention. It has a blend of rich indigenous culture.

The river island, once over 1200 sq. Km is now reduced to just 350 sq. Km. The primary reason for this is the constant floods and heavy rains, along with man-made construction activities that have led to erosion. The erosion ruined one-third of the Island’s landmass over the years. This festival will also take the issue of erosion in Majuli from boardrooms and inform visitors of how the island itself could vanish if adequate steps are not taken to secure its boundaries.

To go with the theme, there will be a campaign too, a plastic-free drive and tree plantation campaign by Jadav Payeng, “Forest Man of India” Also, the Majuli music festival hopes to gain the attention of UNESCO, in a bid to raise awareness about it’s failing condition and become a candidate for a ‘World Heritage Site’. A tree plantation drive will also be initiated during the festival and will be launched by the ‘Forest Man of India’, Jadav Molai Payeng. Through this initiative, every tourist will be asked to plant a tree under their name. Another iconic feature of the first-ever Majuli Music Festival will include the introduction of e-rickshaws at the venue contributing to the carbon-neutral initiative. These are just the tip of the iceberg of the plethora of other initiatives that will be taken up during the musical extravaganza, say organizers.
