The event was organised in cooperation with the Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust at Baradari Gardens here. DrSawraj Singh, an expert on world affairs, social activist Indermohan Singh Bazaz and poet-singer Subhash Malik inaugurated the festival by paying floral tributes to Lord Shiva amid Sanskrit “shalokas”.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Sawraj said the NTAS not only provided entertainment through their plays but also countered the materialist outlook of the West by preaching compassion. Dr Sawraj asserted that the West was now finding solace in the philosophy of universal brotherhood preached by the East.
