Promoting Environmental Awareness

One of the central aims of ‘Nadi Utsav’ is to create environmental awareness and sensitize people about the critical role rivers play in our ecology. Rivers hold a special place in Indian culture, and this event seeks to honor this connection by documenting riverine culture, traditions, rituals, and the profound wisdom associated with water.

Exhibitions Highlighting Diversity

The event features two special exhibitions: the ‘Sanjhi’ exhibition that showcases the diversity of Ghats across India and a children’s paintings exhibition that captures the artistic expressions of young minds. These exhibitions foster a deeper understanding of river culture and its multifaceted significance.
