The World Culture Festival 2016 held on March 11, 12 and 13 on the banks of Yamuna, Delhi, India ended on a grand note. The magnificent three-day cultural extravaganza was blessed with the presence of eminent dignitaries from India and abroad. It was graced with the presence of artists, celebrities and politicians across the globe. I was fortunate enough to be there at the venue and experience the reverberating energy, happy people and blissful chaos at the super successful cultural festival.
Cultural Amalgamation
The World Culture Festival 2016 (WCF) by the Art of Living Foundation was a massive cultural amalgamation that witnessed the participation of more than 155 countries across the globe and, the event was a grand success having 3.5 million footfalls at the venue in Delhi, India. It was indeed a moment of pride for the country as the three-day festival was watched on TV screens and online by around 168 countries! Different cultures, languages, art forms, music, thought processes came together as one human family and celebrated the diversity with utmost joy and love. It was a spectacular site to see more than 3500 artists performing on one large eco-friendly stage of 7 acres! The festival demonstrated the power of peace and harmony like never before.
Celebrity Glitter
WCF was graced with the presence of several big names in the Bollywood film and music industry. The celebs including ace choreographer Terence Lewis, singer Kanika Kapoor, actress Lara Dutta among others, entertained the viewers with a stunning performance and made it a star-studded affair. Also, it witnessed the presence of our honorable Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi ji and other respectable politicians like Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu ji, Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj ji, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and other politicians.
172 international dignitaries comprising current and former Heads of State, Ministers and Members of Parliament attended the grand festival, which was held at the banks of Yamuna in Delhi, India.
Happiness Feast
The World Culture Festival 2016 was undoubtedly a happy feast for all the people who were physically present at the venue or were watching it live. An event of such a grand stature took place with an amazingly surprising ease and the atmosphere was high on positive energy. Even the uncertain weather and rains could not bring down the joy and enthusiasm of people. Indeed an incredible sight to witness! Also, it was a jaw-dropping experience to see the beautiful performances of artists, dancers, musicians coming from vivid cultures and backgrounds yet so united. At the Global Leadership Forum renowned thought leaders and exceptional entrepreneurial personalities from a diverse range of industries discussed, analyzed and reflected on our current paradigms of leadership.
Gathering for Peace
All the artists, politicians, celebrities, viewers present there and all the online connections meditated together with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji for peace and harmony of the whole world! Imagine the waves of positivity and tranquillity it has generated that will benefit the human family as a whole. The event has truly been a Pride for India. I am blessed and glad to be a part of WCF 2016!!!
