Dear Visitor,

Welcome to Anant Samagam!

Anant Samagam," as the name suggests, represents an infinite gathering—an event that brings together diverse cultures from across our nation, particularly focusing on the Northeastern states and Kerala. The term "Anant," meaning infinite, also holds spiritual significance as it is associated with Lord Vishnu, who is revered in Kerala as Ananta Padmanabha. This name symbolises the boundless potential of India's cultural diversity and the continuity of our rich heritage.

The objective of "Anant Samagam" is to create a platform where the cultural streams of our nation can converge, allowing the youth and future generations to connect with and appreciate the rich tapestry of India’s heritage. The event also seeks to highlight the significance of cultural preservation in the context of national unity and development, themes that resonate deeply with your leadership and vision for India.

India stands on the brink of significant social and political transformation, with its youth at the forefront of this change. As the largest demographic group in the country, young Indians will soon hold the reins of leadership, guiding the nation into a new era.

As the founder of Aalekh Foundation and the ideator behind Anant Samagam, I believe that cultural awareness plays a pivotal role in shaping the values and perspectives of young people. In an increasingly globalized world, where Western influences and modern technologies often overshadow traditional practices, there is a growing need to reconnect with our rich cultural heritage. This connection is not just about preserving the past; it is about grounding our future leaders in the values, traditions, and wisdom that have shaped India for centuries.

This year’s festival is only the beginning of a profound dream and endeavor on the part of Aalekh Foundation to consistently strive to bring about heightened awareness, exchanges of skills between the various disciplines across the length and breadth of our beautiful country.

I wish to place on record my sincerest gratitude to all institutions and individuals who have worked tirelessly to make Anant Samagam a reality.

Sincere regards,

Rennie Joyy
Founder & Managing Director
