The Shantanand Festival of Arts is the apex annual festival hosted by The Temple of Fine Arts Malauysia and includes world-class performances by the crème de la crème of international artistes, along with new-generation regional and local artistes. Adding to this, thematic workshops, lecture demonstrations, and panel discussions will be held – altogether creating an overall ambience of high-value entertainment, education and insight. 

Named in loving tribute to our founder, patron, and eternal inspiration, His Holiness Swami Shantanand Saraswati, the festival stands as a living offering in his honor — celebrating the boundless beauty of the arts as a pathway to joy, unity, and inner awakening. The festival aspires to grow into a major cultural landmark — a convergence of tradition and innovation that revives, reimagines, and reaffirms the role of the arts in enriching humanity. Through music, dance, theatre, visual arts, and literature, it seeks to weave together diverse forms of expression into one resonant celebration of life and creativity.

Celebrating its 8th edition since its inception in 2014, the Shantanand Arts Festival has touched the hearts of over 50,000 art lovers and communities across Malaysia and beyond — uniting people through the timeless language of the arts.
