Bengaluru head-quartered Art Of Living (AOL) foundation is organizing an international cultural festival in New Delhi next month- 11^th, 12^th and 13^th March 2016- One of the biggest of its kind involving massive arrangements and an expected audience of millions of people. Art Of Living (AOL)  has successfully held such massive events in the past but this one looks to be its biggest and grandest till date, to mark completion of 35 years of services.

The entry to the event is free and if you are in New Delhi/NCR during this time, do make a plan to be part of this mega celebration. Some key highlights of Art Of Living (AOL)  World Culture Festival is listed below

World Culture festival is inspired by Sri Sri Ravishankar Guruji’s vision for a world that celebrates  diversity and united hearts and minds at a time when world is filled with distrust and hatred among communities, nations and ideologies.

In essence, March 11^th will see the world descending down on India’s capital. You will be able to witness an extraordinary assembly of people, culture and traditions within these three days. Art Of Living team is putting up an extra ordinary scale of volunteers and workers on the ground to make this event a grand success- managing such a complex event involving several million audience, lakhs of VIPs/guests, back to back events, related logistics, food and other arrangements for the delegates, coordinating with external agencies is one mammoth task. Art Of Living (AOL) task forces have mastered this art in previous events but will be testing their limits again this time. Best wishes to them.

Summary:

The Art of Living completes 35 years of service to humanity in 2016.  To commemorate this momentous occasion, World Culture Festival is being organized in New Delhi on March 11, 12, and 13. The event is open to all and the entry is free.
