Aim of the Festival

Buddha Festival has been conceptualized with the following aim :

To expose followers of Buddhism to its art, culture and philosophy practiced in other parts of the world.

To create an international platform for exchange of ideas at the very place where Buddhism was reborn in India in 1956. To make Buddhism practiced in India contemporary by involving people in socio-cultural activities.

Buddha Festival-2011 was a great success and a unique event which encouraged us to plan for Buddha Festival 2012. It brings us great satisfaction and joy to endeavour for the continuity of Buddha Festival in 2012.
