[RxPG] New Delhi, March 30 - The stage is set and the ambience infused with magical notes. Delhi's romance with Sufi begins Thursday with Jahan-E-Khusrau, the 7th international Sufi music festival.

A three day affair, the festival will see singers from America, Iran, Pakistan and India perform. But the show stealer, who has been a part of the festival since its inception seven years ago, is Abida Parveen of Pakistan.

'I don't listen to much of Sufi music but I love Abida Parveen's voice. She sings so openly and with so much of passion that one is bound to be touched by it. I will definitely try going for her performance today,' said Pragya Vats, media coordinator of Action Aid.

Another Abida fan is Amitabh Sharma, a student of Delhi University. 'Sufi music is soulful music and Abida best defines it,' he said.

Conceived and designed by well-known film maker and designer Muzaffar Ali, Jahan-E-Khusrau is dedicated to the memory of the Sufi legend Amir Khusrau. Quite naturally henceforth, most of Khusrau's poetry, music and qauls - are presented by the artistes during the festival.

There are certain changes this year though, such as change of the venue of the programme. Instead of Arab Ki Sarai adjoining Humayun's Tomb, the venue this time is Quli Khan's Tomb near the Qutub Minar in Mehrauli.

Presented by the Delhi Tourism and Rumi Foundation, the theme of the festival is 'Voice of the woman' and it sure has an eager set of audience waiting for the spell to be cast.
