For Darjeeling, the last holiday season of 2023 ended on a rocking note, with the Queen of Hills shaking to the beats of MELOtea Fest. Held during Christmas, the time holiday makers make a beeline for the hill station, the fest centred around two local indulgences the place is famous for – music and tea.

An initiative of Darjeeling SP, Praween Prakash, a 2014-batch IPS officer of West Bengal cadre, the unique festival was a confluence of rock music, tea culture, local traditions, and marathon, brought together under one umbrella.

There was a time Darjeeling was known for rock music. However, over time, this music culture had begun to fade. “To revive the rock music culture, we organised this fest. And, we incorporated another thing this place is famous for – Darjeeling tea – into it,” Mr. Prakash told Indian Masterminds.

SP Praween Prakash is a guitarist himself and played with one of the local bands during the fest.

He said, “With MELOtea, our effort was to promote the culture, music, and tradition of the place. Hence, we had given the tagline- ‘tea, tunes, strings’. We just got a month’s time to organise it, so couldn’t publicize it much. But, seeing the overwhelming response, we now plan to make it an annual event.”

Watch the mesmerising video made by Darjeeling Police on MELOtea to know what it really is about. You will not want to miss this fest this year.
