Arunachal, in its own rhythm
3 days of culture, music, food, stories, traditions and people in the hills of Basar.
More than a festival.
Basar Confluence, or BasCon, is a celebration of the living culture of Arunachal Pradesh.
Since 2017, BasCon has brought people to Basar to experience the traditions, music, food, art and everyday culture of the communities that call this place home. It is a meeting point for tribes, artists, performers, travellers, local communities and people simply curious to see a different side of Arunachal.
The festival takes place in Basar, in the Galo heartland of Arunachal Pradesh. Here, culture is not something preserved behind glass. It is part of everyday life, in the songs people sing, the food they prepare, the stories they tell, the clothes they wear and the way communities come together.
BasCon gives visitors a chance to experience that culture up close.
​
Not as spectators looking in, but as guests.
Come for BasCon, Stay for Basar.
Basar sits in a beautiful valley surrounded by forests, hills, farmland and villages. It is a place where the landscape and the culture are closely tied to one another. The Galo people are the predominant community of the region, and their traditions form an important part of Basar's cultural character. But Basar is not just a festival destination. Walk beyond the festival grounds and you will find village paths, fields, forests, streams and homes where life continues at its own pace. Meet local people. Eat local food. Listen to stories. Take a walk. Sit down somewhere and let the afternoon pass. This is the part of Basar that cannot be put on a stage. BasCon is your introduction. Basar is the experience.
