This first-of-its-kind event highlights Delhi’s growing role as a hub for cultural diplomacy, encouraging international participation while promoting local traditions. It also reinforces how Navratri serves not only as a festival of devotion but as a platform for community bonding, cross-cultural interaction, and the celebration of India’s vibrant heritage.
