A festival of colours and life, Holi is the most
vibrant festival of India. It is celebrated across the country, though with
different names and traditions. The festival celebrates the triumph of good
over evil forces and help to spread harmony and brotherhood in the society.
Society for the Confluence of Festivals in India (SCFI) wishes to
promote this spirit of Holi 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.
