SAMKRAMA DEEPTHI | LET US CELEBRATE TOGETHER | RAMAYANA | CHINGAM | DELHI | 2025

Samkrama Deepthi 2025: The Radiance of Transition was a memorable celebration of unity, spiritual depth, and cultural diversity, at Kerala School, Vikaspuri, Delhi. The event was jointly organised by Chavara Cultural centre, Delhi, Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) Office for Dialogue & Desk for Ecumenism, Panchajanyam Bharatham, and HRDS India, beautifully brought together people from all walks of life to honor India’s rich tradition of interfaith harmony and shared heritage.

Celebrating Diversity and Humanity
Samkrama Deepthi marked the transition from the holy month of Ramayana (Karkidakam) to the vibrant and prosperous month of Chingam, encapsulating the essence of Onam. The central message was clear: celebrating diversity is celebrating Bharat, and celebrating Bharat is ultimately a celebration of all humanity. Each segment of the evening—music, dance, and reflections—highlighted the transformative power of coming together across faiths and backgrounds.

Honoring Dignitaries and Faith Leaders
The event was graced by distinguished dignitaries, including Rev. Dr. Mathew Koyickal (CBCI), Swami Atma Nambi (HRDS India), ambassadors from Malta, Timor-Leste, and Peru, as well as religious and community leaders representing Hindu, Christian, Islamic, Sikh, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Baháʼí, and Jain traditions. Their presence underscored the commitment to dialogue, respect, and collective fraternity in these complex times.

Embracing the Spirit of Unity
The welcome note by Rev. Dr. Roby Kannanchirayil CMI emphasized that true peace starts with embracing, respecting, and celebrating each other. The event encouraged everyone not just to tolerate—but to genuinely value and find joy in—religious and cultural differences. Through music, art, and shared moments, Samkrama Deepthi 2025 renewed the spirit of hope, unity, and togetherness among all participants.

Samkrama Deepthi 2025 served as an inspiring reminder that in celebrating one another, we celebrate the divine, humanity itself, and the bonds that make society resilient and compassionate.
