Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya Haridwar, in collaboration with the state tourism department, will organize a week long International Yoga, Culture & Spirituality Festival from October 17 to 23. The university and the culture department of the state started the tradition of hosting this type of festival last year in March. The vice-chancellor of the university, Dr. S.P. Mishra said that the lovers of the yoga from 30 countries will participate in the mega festival, which is the second festival of this type in the university. “The festival will be held under the aegis of the school of health of the universityâ,” said the vice chancellor. As Haridwar, a centre of culture and spirituality, has also emerged as a global hub of yoga, the holding of this festival in the city will give a further boost to yoga and spiritual tourismâ,” says Madan Kaushik, the state tourism minister.
