New Delhi: The Save Culture Save Bharat Foundation, in collaboration with Sanatan Sanstha, has announced that the Shankhnad Mahotsav will be held on December 13 and 14 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan. The event is part of Sanatan Sanstha’s Silver Jubilee celebrations and aims to highlight India’s cultural and spiritual traditions. Organisers said Delhi was chosen as the venue due to its central role in national cultural initiatives and its ability to draw diverse audiences from across the country. The two-day Mahotsav will feature discussions, exhibitions, and interactive sessions focused on India’s civilisational heritage.

The main attraction will be the Sanatan Sanskriti Samvad, scheduled across both days in the Convention Hall, where scholars, cultural experts and thought leaders will speak on India’s social and civilisational narratives. According to organisers, the sessions are expected to draw significant participation from students, young professionals, and cultural enthusiasts.

A major draw will be the Historical Weapons and Cultural Exhibition, to be held in Exhibition Hall 12 from December 13 to 15. The exhibition will display rare artefacts, including the iconic Bhawani Talwar (Sword) associated with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Live demonstrations of traditional martial arts are also planned.

On December 14, a special session titled ‘Sanatan Rashtra for Global Welfare’ will focus on India’s cultural revival, national development, and its growing global footprint. Speakers from various fields are expected to share perspectives on India’s role in shaping global discourse.

Organisers said the Shankhnad Mahotsav is intended to serve as a collective cultural platform, bringing together citizens, youth groups, scholars and spiritual organisations. The event aims to promote awareness of India’s heritage while encouraging public participation in preserving cultural identity.

The Foundation has invited members of the public to attend the Mahotsav and take part in the two-day celebration of Indian culture and tradition.
