A two-day festival of music and meditation is taking place in the city centre this weekend and welcoming hundreds of people from all over the country.
Kirtan Fest, organised by the Hare Krishna Centre, in Granby Street, aims to bring melody and mantras to Leicester with chanting and uplifting music today and tomorrow.
Visitors are invited to take part in ancient Sanskrit mantras at the headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and do their best to "uplift their souls and relax their minds."
Pradyumna Das, president of ISKCON Leicester, said: "Kirtan Fest encompasses the easiest form of meditation.
"Everyone likes music, singing, and dancing, and you can do all of this in mantra meditation.
"Participants just need to turn up, and immerse themselves in the sacred sounds which range from mellow and soothing, to uplifting and high tempo."
