- In the heart of Rajasthan’s Shekhawati region lies Alsisar, a small village that bursts into an explosion of international colours and sounds every December. The reason — the Magnetic Fields Festival. This unique music festival is held every year in December, and its biggest highlight is its location — Alila Fort Alsisar
- This historic fort, built in the 17th century, has now been transformed into a stunning luxury heritage hotel. Its grand durbar halls, open courtyards, and the golden sand stretching all around create a fairy-tale atmosphere.
For three days, from morning until late night, every corner of the palace turns into a new stage. Here, you can hear electronic, hip-hop, jazz, fusion, and Rajasthan’s traditional folk music together.Artists from around the world bring their fresh experiments and unique tunes, making every year’s festival exciting and different. - Magnetic Fields is not just a festival to listen to — it’s a celebration to live.
- The day begins with yoga sessions where watching the sunrise from the fort’s terrace brings peace to the soul. During the day, various art installations and workshops — like pottery making, learning traditional painting, or playing musical instruments — give wings to your creativity.
- At night, stargazing in the desert is a unique experience, where experts guide you through constellations and the Milky Way. VR storytelling and interactive sessions with folk artists offer a chance to connect deeply with the region’s culture.
- Inside Alila Fort, royal suites and luxury rooms combine traditional Rajasthani décor with modern amenities. The festival also offers luxury tents, homestays, and budget camping options so every traveller can stay according to their preference.
- For food lovers, pop-up kitchens and food stalls offer Rajasthani thali, Italian pasta, Japanese sushi, and global fusion dishes.
- Before or after the festival, there’s much to explore in and around Alsisar: touring Shekhawati’s mural-adorned havelis, taking a camel ride on the Thar Desert Safari, and shopping for colorful textiles, handicrafts, and jewelry in the local markets.
- Alsisar is about a 6-hour drive from Delhi and around 4 hours from Jaipur.
- Magnetic Fields is not just a music festival — it’s a versatile experience. It immerses you in the grandeur of royal history, the energy of modern music, and the warmth of cultural diversity. The three days spent here will live in your memory forever, like a dream you’ll want to relive again and again.
