Noida, India – The evening program of the 9th Global Literary Festival cast a magical spell over all attendees, uniting them once again beneath a single roof, in a mesmerizing musical performance by Yousuf Khan Nizami and his enthralling party of Sufi Music.
At the commencement of this captivating musical odyssey, Dr. Sandeep Marwah, Chancellor of AAFT University and President of ICMEI, shed light on the significance of Sufi Music in spiritual practices.
