Friendship Day is about celebrating the joys of
having friends. It is the day meant to honour friends and buddies who
stick with us through thick and thin making us feel loved and cared for.
Though every day is a friend’s day but on Friendship Day we
publicly acknowledge that our lives will lose much of its worth without
friends. Friendship Day is celebrated world over on the First Sunday in
the month of August. First Sunday of August was selected as National
Friendship Day by a Proclamation made by US Congress in 1935. Society
for the Confluence of Festivals in India (SCFI) wishes to pay its
sincerest tribute to all pals and buddies who have lived up to the real
meaning of the word “Friend” and supported their friends when
they were really needed.
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.
