Swaminarayan Sanstha organized its first international cultural festival in
1981 to mark the bicentenary celebrations of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. The festival
site was spread across a lush, 200 acre campus in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The
festival was celebrated for 37 days with a variety of spiritual, humanitarian,
and cultural programs, including folk music and classical music performances by
some of India’s leading pandits and maestros, theatrical and folk dance
performances from all over India, and a special exhibit dedicated to world
peace and universal brotherhood. The festival featured majestic gates and
mandirs carved by Bengali artisans, highlighting the beauty of Indian art and
architecture.
