We believe that festivals are one of the best ways to celebrate diversity among religions, cultural practices, and indigenous traditions. Since URI is a grassroots-level organization, it has been able to build and promote interfaith cooperation whilst also preserving the uniqueness of every cultural practice. This not only fosters mutual respect among members of different faiths but also helps to share communal values with each other. India is the land of diversity and is home to various kinds of festivals, each belonging to a different faith altogether.
