The Cultural
Festival of India (CFI), held on the grounds of The Alexandra Palace, was the
first of its kind to bring the wonders of India to London. This 33-day festival
attracted over a million visitors from across the globe. CFI featured 4
intricately carved mandirs, 16 magnificent displays, and 5 beautiful gates. All
of these structures were skillfully crafted in India and then shipped to London
where they were assembled on the festival grounds. Additionally, CFI showcased
14 types of traditional Indian folk dance and musical performances by various
pandits and maestros. People no longer needed to travel to India to experience
its breathtaking beauty, spirituality, sights, and sounds; they could visit the
festival grounds to enjoy India in the center of London!
