The 10th edition of RashtriyaSanskriti Mahotsav was recently organised by the Ministry of Culture in the State of Madhya Pradesh.
It was conceived in 2015 to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the country in varied dimensions in one place - Handicrafts, Cuisine, Painting, Sculpture and Performing Arts-Folk, Tribal, Classical and Contemporary.
It will cover a profusion of folk-artforms from 22 States.
It was launched under EkBharat Shrestha Bharat initiative under Ministry of Human Resource and Development.
Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat was launched in 2016 to promote bonding amongst the people of different States/UTs and diverse cultures, thereby securing unity and integrity of India.
Each year, every State/UT would be paired with another State/UT in India for reciprocal interaction between the people.
