Held on 27 September 2026 at the historic Gandhi Smriti Bhavan in New Delhi, the special gathering brought together prominent figures from public life and the arts to celebrate storytelling focused on spiritual heritage.
A Collaborative Effort to Foster Cultural Cinema
The felicitation ceremony was jointly organised by the Shirdi Sai Baba Foundation and the Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti.
