For the first time ever, 31 accomplished female Kirtaniyas are uniting across Punjab and Delhi to sing and amplify the universal legacy of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji through his Shabads - a traveling Kirtan tour across 9 cities, historic sites and colleges during this 350th commemorative year.
To extend the impact and preserve this moment in Sikh women's history, we are producing a documentary with Sunny Dhinsey, a renowned UK film director - a feature film to highlight the universality of Sikh Spirituality and the importance of Sikh music in today's world, through the voices of Sikh women.
OUR ASK: We have extended our fundraising timeline in order to complete funding the tour and documentary. The impact of this global project is huge for Sikh women and we need Sangat's generosity to ensure this legacy project has the largest impact.

Empower Sikh Women to Lead through Guru's Shabad
. 
In 2022 & 2024, we've hosted two highly successful events in Fremont and Dallas, where GAAVANI received tremendous enthusiasm and support worldwide. The Sangat, both in-person and online, has been captivated by the experience. Some attendees have expressed their sentiments through poetry, while others have openly shared on social media about the profound impact these events had on them. Numerous requests have come in, requesting us to organize GAAVANI programs in various cities and countries. Between these 2 events, we grew our membership and online presence, launched our website, launched our YouTube channel, connected with several professional female kirtaniya's throughout the world to join our mission, developed partnerships with Sikh media organizations, professional Sikh artists and mainstream media outlets. The Dallas event was covered in the Dallas Morning News and the Associated Press is also interested in covering future events. Here is the Dallas Morning News article - https://www.dallasnews.com/news/faith/2024/01/11/d-fw-concerts-to-feature-sikh-women-singing-religious-scriptures/
