New Delhi: The capital will host the first World Culture Festival, a three-day event celebrating cultural diversity and Art of Living's 35 years of service to humanity, in March.
The Art of Living is a global movement founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
To be held between March 11-13, 2016, the World Culture Festival will bring together people from different cultures, nations and faiths as a one world family in a resounding message of peace.
The event, supported by the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Tourism, Sangeet Natak Akademi, Lalit Kala Akademi and the National School of Drama, is expected to host people from over 155 countries.
