Kolkata Rainbow Pride Festival

Kolkata Rainbow Pride Festival (KRPF) is an open, volunteer-run collective formed in 2011 to organise the Kolkata Rainbow Pride Walk, usually held in December. The walk traces back to the 1999 Friendship Walk in Kolkata, widely recorded as the first Pride march in India and South Asia. Around the walk, the collective runs talks, film screenings and cultural events with partner groups. It has no fixed office or opening hours. To join a walk or volunteer, follow the website and the collective's social media in the weeks before December for routes and dates.
