The Story of Jashn-e-Ghazal

جشنِ غزل کی کہانی

Since 2018 — bringing Urdu adab and Lucknowi culture to the young generation of Awadh.

OUR MISSION

Born from Lucknow's Love of Poetry

Every year since 2018, Jashn-e-Ghazal has introduced Urdu adab and the rich Lucknowi tehzeeb to a new generation of listeners. What began as an intimate evening of verse has grown into one of Awadh's most anticipated cultural events — a gathering where the quality of the audience is as carefully curated as the art on stage.

From the very beginning, Jashn-e-Ghazal has stood apart. Invitations and reserved seats — approximately 600 — are extended only to VIP and VVIP guests from Lucknow and beyond. The event is not merely a programme — it is a movement for the upliftment of Urdu and Hindi shayari among the youth of Bharat.

"We seek the upliftment of Urdu and Hindi shayari and the promotion of adab among youth — Jashn-e-Ghazal is not just a mehfil. It is a movement."

The Legacy of Dr. Rahat Indori

In our founding editions of 2018 and 2019, the legendary Janab Dr. Rahat Indori graced the Jashn-e-Ghazal stage — and Lucknow met him after a long time. Those two evenings established the benchmark that every season since has aspired to match.
