The festival is entirely outdoors with fantastic weather - wintry warmth in the afternoons and a pleasant chill in the evenings. The setting is stunning - a majestic and magnificent fort, a palace of yore, over 500 years old - overlooking the friendly and laid back city of Jodhpur. All this encapsulating Rajasthani and international folk and roots music of the highest quality - from dawn to dusk; at midnight; during the day as well as in the evenings - all in a variety of stunning courtyards. Ranked among the top 25 music festivals in the world, Jodhpur RIFF is India's most significant roots music festival. A truly unmatched experience, unlike any other in the country.
