A festival of sharing and caring,
Thanksgiving is celebrated with fervor all around the world. It is a
time of family reunion and get together. The festival celebrates the
universal feeling of gratitude people feel towards God for all his
blessings and grace. Society for the Confluence of Festivals in India
(SCFI) wishes to promote this spirit of Thanksgiving by covering all
possible aspects related to it.
As a socially responsible manifestation, Society for the Confluence of
Festivals in India endeavors to create value for the Indian society by
introducing the beauty, grace and wisdom embodied in the various
festivals of India, thereby preserving India's rich cultural heritage.
We bring unique customs, traditions and goodness of Indian festivals to
form a distinct association known as the Society for the Confluence of
Festivals in India. Through this organization, we hope to form a mutual
respect for and foster the common bond that various Indian festivals
share.
The great diversity of Indian religious beliefs is projected through
the various festivals that are celebrated in India. They arise from the
innate desire of man to seek diversion from humdrum activities that help
in symbolizing, reflecting and enriching social life in a specific
cultural setting. SCFI seeks to conserve and promote an awareness of
this rich and diversified cultural treasure amongst the citizen of this
country through various expositions that focus on the tradition of
excellence, conversing the famous legends, rituals, mythology and
philosophy of Indian Festivals and in turn facilitating an awareness of
their deeper and subtler values.
