Magnetic Festival-Rajasthan

The 3 day music festival will take place from the 14 th  to the 16 th  of December month at the iconic mahal turned hotel, Alsisar Mahal in Rajasthan. Now you have heard much about Magnetic Fields, which is counted among the finest music festivals in the country, since its first edition in 2013. This year, when we got the opportunity to attend the event, which is held at a palace in Alsisar in Rajasthan, we decided it would be a good idea to bust a few myths about the fest. It was a great experience there we all enjoyed so much there the luxury tents were we lived 3days we so good neat and well organized there I will tell u all the things about their which we enjoyed there . “Life is a dangerous a adventure you should travel or do nothing “

When you are enjoying there you will hear great quality music their Because it’s held inside a private property, Magnetic Fields is free from the restriction on the use of loudspeakers after 10 pm that plagues most other music festivals, which take place on large, open grounds. Performances start around noon and are held all night, ending at about 6.30 am you’re likely to hear the music from your room or tent, so you sleep to the beats even if you’re not bopping to them. There’s officially a break between sunrise and noon, but we could hear sound checks through the morning from our tent. (Or maybe it was just somebody blasting their own music; we didn’t leave the comfort of our bed to check.) The food stalls and bars are also open throughout, ceasing business only for a few hours in the morning. You all will be amaze to know that the palace is now a hotel but the grandeur and luxury of the past lives on, making it a unique place to hold a festival – which it has done since 2013. The three-day event sees live music from India and around the world with the party going on well until dawn. It’s not just about the music though. One of the best things about Magnetic Fields is being able to wake up to a morning yoga session, fly kites at sunrise, stumble across one of its many secret parties or simply discover its unique desert location and everything it has to offer.

As for the accommodation, there’s something for everyone. For a real luxury experience, the royal palace suites are available – think rich furnishings and ornate décor with a dose of old world charm. The best way to enjoy the festival, though, is in the Bedouin tent village. Located just outside of the palace gates, these fully furnished tents blend traditional Bedouin culture with contemporary living (each tent has a private en suite bathroom, offering a bit of luxury with the camping experience).

This is obvious going just by the ticket prices. The festival pass itself was Rs 12,000 this year. As it takes places in a village, the only accommodation is on site, in a room inside the palace, sold at a royal Rs 46,000 per person, or in a tent on the adjacent campsite (though we did hear a few artists say there were staying at a hotel located a 40-minute drive away). A basic tent cost Rs 17,000 per person (which went down to Rs 13,450 if six people got one with three compartments) while the fancier Bedouin tents, which are en-suite, set you back Rs 24,500 for a two-person set-up and a little over Rs 19,000 for one that could accommodate three.

There is something magical about attending a festival in a palace. The venue is vast and you chance upon new areas and experiences as you explore the grounds and courtyards. Though each stage is sponsored by a brand, the presence of logos is minimal and tastefully restricted to the stages and bars. The aesthetic sensibility is extended to the lighting and visual backdrops, which are rich without being garish. The Prince of Alsisar appears to be aware of this, which is why this year he started a stage in the village where for a few hours on Saturday evening, the locals were treated to a performance by an array of Rajasthani folk music stars, including drummer Nathulal Solanki. Festival fashion, meanwhile, was a cornucopia of capes, feathered crowns and face paint.
