The Festival of Father's Day is celebrated with full sincerity and
humility in several countries across the world. The tradition of
celebrating Fathers Day as a holiday on third Sunday of June began in US
in 1910. All thanks to the devotion and struggle of Ms Sonora Louise
Smart Dodd and several others who supported and helped Sonora to further
the cause of Father's Day Celebration. On Father's Day people thank
fathers, grand fathers, uncles or any other person who love them like a
father. Cards, gifts and family reunions are integral to Father's Day
celebrations in India. With the help of this site, Society for the
Confluence of Festivals in India (SCFI) seeks to generate greater
awareness about Fathers Day as a festival in India and stress on the
importance of a father in ones life. By way of this website SCFI wishes
to thank all fathers for their significant contribution in raising
children.
As a socially responsible manifestation, Society for the Confluence of
Festivals in India endeavors to create value for the Indian society by
introducing the beauty, grace and wisdom embodied in the various
festivals of India, thereby preserving India's rich cultural heritage.
We bring unique customs, traditions and goodness of Indian festivals to
form a distinct association known as the Society for the Confluence of
Festivals in India. Through this organization, we hope to form a mutual
respect for and foster the common bond that various Indian festivals
share.
The great diversity of Indian religious beliefs is projected through
the various festivals that are celebrated in India. They arise from the
innate desire of man to seek diversion from humdrum activities that help
in symbolizing, reflecting and enriching social life in a specific
cultural setting. SCFI seeks to conserve and promote an awareness of
this rich and diversified cultural treasure amongst the citizen of this
country through various expositions that focus on the tradition of
excellence, conversing the famous legends, rituals, mythology and
philosophy of Indian Festivals and in turn facilitating an awareness of
their deeper and subtler values.
