 * Weak keep, several dozen hits on ProQuest, but I'm having difficulty finding coverage that is secondary and in-depth. Still, the festival has been around for over 25 years, so it seems likely there are good sources in music magazines and the like that I've missed. Mach61 06:50, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * As said in nom, no WP:INDEPTH SIGCOV. WP:ROUTINE coverage as mandated in all criterias of WP:NEVENT. There are various subjects with the very same name, so not sure about the results you got. @Mach61 Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 10:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @User4edits My argument is that even insignificant coverage over a long time period is enough to show that the festival is of some repute, and since it has been around for a few decades, it is likely that sources I have not or cannot find have covered it in depth; for example, in an offline source that I could only read if I went to a library in India. Notability is not based on if sources are currently cited, it is based on if sources exist.
 * Of course, the presumption of coverage only goes so far. If the Festival got very few hits online, I would have no reason to assume it was prominent enough to receive offline coverage, and if it was founded more recently, I would assume that almost all sources discussing it would be online. But neither of those things are true in this case. Mach61 11:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article is collaborative and well-referenced, and reports a significant regional cultural event; the large number of relevant and pertinent wikilinks to notable bands and performers demonstrates the significance of the festival in related articles.
