Your live singer in Saudi Arabia

The Indian community in Saudi Arabia numbers in the millions, working in construction, health, oil, IT and trade. Since 2018 the kingdom has opened to licensed public entertainment, with concert seasons in Riyadh and Jeddah, and events for the Indian community are held in schools, halls and compounds.

Rules remain strict and change with time. Events require licences from the relevant authority, programmes must respect local norms, alcohol is not part of any event, and photography may be restricted. A licensed local organiser handles all of this.

Dharmik accepts invitations only where a licensed organiser arranges every permission. A family-friendly Hindi, Sufi and devotional set is the usual programme.

The year in Saudi Arabia

Entertainment seasons run from autumn to spring, with national-day events in September. Ramadan changes the rhythm of the whole country, and summers are too hot for outdoor events.

A restrained set list for the kingdom

Programmes favour melody and respect: Hindi film classics, ghazals, devotional songs and Sufi pieces such as Khwaja Mere Khwaja. Loud dance blocks are kept to a minimum where the venue asks, and every lyric is checked for suitability.

Getting to Saudi Arabia and setting up

Flights from Mumbai reach Riyadh in about four hours and Jeddah in a similar time. Travel documents, entertainment permits and venue approvals are handled by a licensed local organiser well in advance. Equipment is normally rented locally, and the programme is submitted for approval before the trip.

Where events can be held in Saudi Arabia

Indian community events in the kingdom are held mainly in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province around Dammam and Al Khobar. Licensed venues include hotel ballrooms, private compounds and halls approved for entertainment, and private family functions happen in residences.

Every public performance needs a licence from the relevant authority, arranged by a licensed local organiser, and the programme is submitted in advance. Equipment is rented locally, timings are fixed, and the content is chosen with care. Dharmik accepts a booking only when the organiser confirms every permission in writing.
