The state is known globally for its unparalleled cultural and natural resources, its unique terrain and wildlife, its most distinctive form of architectural heritage monuments and above all the sense of pride and hospitality of its people.

It gives me immense pleasure to invite you and your clients to join us in the forthcoming Navratri festival celebrations, which will be held from September 25 to October 5, 2003

The festival of Navratri, a carnival of nine nights of dance and devotion, is the best cultural symbol of the state. Celebrated with piety, a colourful costume, music and dance, the festival has always attracted tourists from india and aboard. This year, we would like you and yours clients to savour the unbridled joy and rich cultural of heritage of arts and crafts, dance and music, fairs and festival of our state . . . . . . . . .(Visit web site http://www.navratrifestival.com" rel="nofollow">LINK for more details)

The visiting tourists would have the first hand experience of staying with a host family and finding out for themselves what makes Gujarat so vibrant. While with their hosts, the guests would get to enjoy the state's vast repertoire of heritage and culture from the last abode of the Asiatic Lions as well as the numerous temples and beaches that dot its 1600- Km coastline.

The glorious state of Gujarat possesses the two most exceptional archaeological sites of Dholavira and Lothal that connect the history of India with ancient civilization. To commemorate the occasion, we are creating an unusual ambience with architectural models through slide showa and ancient food festival to draw in visitors to the era where Indus Valley Civilization was at its zenith.

What's more , along with festivities, you also have a unique opportunity to experience the business spirit of the state. To enable you to do so, the Government of Gujarat plans to organize " Vibrant Gujarat: Global Investors' Summit", a series of conventions, exhibitions, and seminars during the Navratri festival. It will be an ideal opportunity to interact with the top decision makers in the government as well as captains of industry to share their vision and envisage how you could be part of the synergy.

I lookforward to your active participation in promoting the event of Navratri and see for yourself the land where people work hard and enjoy with abandon gaiety this festival of dance in the land of Mahatama Gandhi & Sardar Patel
