Himachalis Fostering Culture of State Abroad

Virtually Participating in ‘Himachali Dham’ Event at Calgary, Canada

The “Himachali Dham” event, organized by the Himachali Association of Alberta, Calgary in Canada, was virtually attended today, emphasizing the significant role it plays in connecting Himachalis residing abroad with their rich cultural heritage. The Himachali diaspora serves as valuable ambassadors of Himachal Pradesh’s vibrant culture worldwide. These gatherings are essential in introducing the younger generation to the state’s traditions and culture, fostering a sense of connection to their roots.

“Such events symbolize the enduring bond between Himachalis across the globe and their homeland, Himachal Pradesh, fostering cultural preservation and global unity,” emphasized the speaker, praising the association’s commitment to preserving Himachali culture, even for those living far away.

The President of the Himachali Association of Alberta, Amit Sharma, highlighted the event’s dual importance. It not only celebrates Himachali cultural heritage and customs but also strengthens the bonds among the people of Himachal in Alberta and Himachal Pradesh, bridging geographical distances. The annual Himachali Dham event in Calgary showcases the state’s rich traditions, delicious cuisine, and folk songs.
