“Due to our vibrant culture, there is always an occasion or festival in some part of India. Every festival brings our society together. Festivals also connect us and mould us. Celebrations fill us with enthusiasm, and also give us the ability to decorate our dream,” he said.
“We have festivals in our blood. That’s why the vitality of India’s social life is festivals. Due to this, the 1000-years-old tradition does not go to club culture. Though India’s festivals, we celebrate the salient aspects of Indian culture. We get to know different types of art, music, song and dance. In India’s tradition, robots do not take birth but living humans,” Modi said.
