Why go to Magnetic Fields, Alsisar Mahar
Set in the beautiful village of Rajasthan, Alsisar Mahal is a palace that has recently been renovated into a luxury hotel. Earlier, Alsisar Mahal was the residence of the Thakur of Alsisar. This is an ideal place to explore the historical capital of Jhunjhunu and also the painted region of Shekhawati. This majestic palace spread over a 10 acre plot, is situated in village Alsisar which is 23 km from district head quarters ‘Jhunjhunu’ in Rajasthan. The mahal is very regal with all its intricate walls, splendour of beautiful interiors, antique furniture and carved poster beds. The expansive courtyards with quaint lawns, take you back in time and lend an unreal feel to the whole place.
Magnetic Fields takes place in this quaint fort and lends the entire place a magical aura, with its beautiful festival decor and the music. This festival goes live on December 15, 2017. For three days this palace is lit up and goes to another frequency itself! This year, there will be three stages at the festival:
Bira 91 South Stage: This is where the Magnetic Fielders will begin their days of craziness, lounging in the grass under the golden sun in the lawns of the palace. Here you will be entertained by some of the best musicians from the world like Four Tet, Machinedrum, The Ska vengers and many more. You can watch insane musicians play deftly on strings, guitars, bass, precision and let yourselves be free in this magical atmosphere. As the warm December sun gives way to chilly evenings you will be taken care of by the best artists in the world!
Red Bull Music Academy North Stage: The stage comes alive when the sky turns blue and stars sparkle in the sky, the palace comes alive with the finest artists. This will be the home of dance, where you let your freak flag fly! Surrounded by pretty Rajasthani architecture, ancient murals, and a decorated courtyard for the best electronic music festival in India. This will be a great sync of the ancient and the modern brought to life by artists like Daphni, Sindhi Curry, Sassy J and many more!
