Jaipur October 2025.
To celebrate the richness and vibrancy of
Rajasthani culture, Dharav High School, Ajmer Road, is launching Dharav
Utsav, a cultural festival that brings together art, tradition and
contemporary expression under the vision of Ms. Devyani Jaipuria. Scheduled for
November 21–22, on the school’s sprawling campus in Jaipur, the festival goes
beyond performances and displays. It will be a celebration of the shared
heritage of Rajasthan, a platform that honors and preserves local culture. The
event will also feature renowned singers, poets, and entrepreneurs.
Dharav High School is part of RJ Corp, a
nearly three-decade-old diversified conglomerate, having interests in
education, F&B, healthcare, and retail sectors. Devyani Jaipuria, the
daughter of RJ Corp founder Ravi Jaipuria, leads the company's education sector
in India.
Speaking about the upcoming celebration, Devyani
Jaipuria, Chairperson of Dharav High School, stated, “Rajasthan is among
the most culturally rich and diverse states in India, with a tradition dating
back centuries. The Dharav Utsav is envisioned as a celebration of the region's
rich cultural tapestry. Visitors will be treated to goods made by local
artisans, local cuisine, and will participate in local customs. It’ll also
serve as a place where local talent will garner national and international
attention.”
The organisers invite craftsmen, artisans,
small businesses and food vendors to open stalls at the event. The objective is
to offer a platform for showcasing local skills and entrepreneurship while
supporting community upliftment. All proceeds from the event will go towards RJ
Corp’s CSR initiatives: Shiksha Kendra and Pravah Skill Development Centre.
Together, these initiatives have educated and trained thousands of
underprivileged children. The organisers also extend an invitation to other
schools, including faculty and students, to visit Dharav Utsav.
Eminent authors will be in attendance with a literary festival
scheduled, followed by a musical session.
In the coming years, Dharav Utsav aims to
grow as a leading cultural platform, each edition enhancing its legacy and
community heritage.
