Sarathi Socio Cultural Trust is a non profit organization in Bangalore, founded in 2003. The organization is involved in organizing socio-cultural events in Koramangala, the highlight being the grand "Durga Puja", which sees at least 150,000 to 200,000 visitors every year. Sarathi encourages people from all communities to participate" in its cultural fiesta, branded as Sammad - "an Indian cultural extravaganza", which was inaugurated by the likes of Justice Santhosh Hegde, Captain Gopinath, Ashok Soota over the years. "One of the oldest" in the city, it's "more contemporary in terms of crowd" among the various Durga Puja celebrations in Bangalore. Seen as "a meeting ground for young people, many from the IT, banking and other sectors, who form the cream of Bangalore", major corporate brands like UB, HSBC, Reliance Jewels and others were involved with Sammad over the years.〔 Important cultural icons, the likes of Ash King, Rupankar, Kavita Krishnamoorthy, Anupam Roy, Srijit Mukherji, Parambrata Chatterjee, Srikanto Acharya, Lopamudra, Somlata, June Banerjee, Neel Dutt, Bhoomi, Cactus, Paras Pathar and others, have performed at Sammad. == Background == Being the hub of IT in the nineties, Koramangala has been a focus of many Bengalis for whom the nearest Durga Puja was Ulsoor. This prompted a group of people staying in and around Koramangala, who "pined for home at that time of the year when the ''dhaaks'' beat out their insistent rhythm and the smell of egg rolls is redolent in the air", to start one in Koramangala. Over the years its USP became a "new age feel", like "arranging a rock competition for college students during the five days of celebrations." Their general theme has been always "'Bibidher Majhe Milan', that is 'Unity in Diversity'. () various cultural programmes [] celebrate the essence of India, rather than just Bengali culture."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sarathi Socio Cultural Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
