The 16th edition of International Sufi Rang Festival culminated into its 4thth day with the ongoing exhibition of sacred Sufi arts and paintings in the Mehfil Khana of Ajmer Sharif Dargah.

On this occasion, school children from Khuddam e Khawaja Gharib Nawaz ra Sufi Community of the Ajmer District turned up at the Sufi Rang Festival in a large number. They felt elated to meet and greet the noted Sufi artists and calligraphers from around 40 states in India. Live workshops and interactive sessions on the Calligraphic Inscriptions, Sacred Arts and Spiritual Ethos were held, as usual, in the Mefil Khana from 2: 30 PM to 5: 00 PM. Common visitors at the Dargah of Ajmer Sharif also frequent the Calligraphy Workshop during the week-long exhibition of the International Sufi Rang Festival.
