The Festivals of India held in the US in 1985-86 created a sensation and stir in the world of cultural exchange. The Festivals sought to convey to the people of America the life and culture in India. The Festivals also saw institutional collaboration between the two countries. Exhibitions and cultural performances dominated the Festivals.
