We met with many Indian groups of great talent. The Indian food though it is a bit spicy we loved it the most. We have a great stay in hotels too.

This festival not only gave us a brilliant line up as usual, but gave us and the audience hope, revitalisation and a feeling of joy. There was a genuine air of happiness and joy to be back at the festival. The main stage line up was brilliant with a wonderful mix of classical and folk from Indian groups, with a complex interweaving of harmonies and styles. It felt like a real melting pot.

This festival is unique as I can have a glimpse of all cultures of the world on one stage. My children can learn about the dying performing arts. We can relate to many cultures as they are all inter-related to each other.
Such a culture festival has never happened in the city. The festival has been organised at a time when we are not able to appreciate folk culture. This will make people aware about different art forms.
It has been an honor being one of the dance companies selected to participate in the International Ethnic Folklore Festival 2018 edition. The organization was welcoming, kind, and efficient. Getting to know the wonders of India, its culture, their cheerful and generous people were a delight. I hope we have the opportunity of participating in future festival editions. Especial thanks to the Director of the festival Ms.Vagdevi Karumuri that made the experience unforgettable. I will treasure these memories forever.

It has been a privilege to be a part of IEFF since its inception in 2015. We have observed that in past 3 years, the festival has gained a lot of momentum and grown tremendously every year with participation also increasing manifolds. This year too the program was well attended by people from all walks of life Including dignitaries from various esteemed organizations and other elite class.

We hope that you will keep organizing such festivals in the ensuing years to come so that cultural integration between the various countries is strengthened and the message of peace is promoted throughout the world.
I am grateful for the opportunity. I consider that the presentation time was very short 10 minutes each for 3 days. Scenarios very well, coordination well too. Regarding the public, great response, however, One thing we recognize is the incredible logistics and symmetry in the coordination of the whole team. Tours are well planned, We really liked the variety of themes and places, also the coordination with other groups and the good coexistence that we were allowed.
We are extremely grateful to be able to know in addition to know tourist places inside the streets. Personally I know there is no better way to get to know India than through people like you who every moment struggled so that we could have a pleasant stay. I would also like to thank you for the great attention you have given to the different needs of each member of the group. I apologize for the inconvenience and setbacks caused by my group.
IEFF gave us exposure to the world folklore. Meeting the artists and musicians was a delight and the workshops helped us to create brotherhood. Visiting the Taj Mahal was an ultimate dream along with the monuments of India with rich history. The team took our care with all the efforts. The planning for the visits was up to the mark and efforts put in to give us a pleasant stay was commendable.
I am glad we participated in the International Ethnic Folklore Festival 2017, because it was too enriching sharing stage with other talented international groups in a different country. Ruahine Polynesian dance thanks India and the organisation of IEFF 2017 to have let us live this experience and show our love to dance to Indian people and the whole world. Thank you again.
We were very happy with the IEFF-20017. We also appreciate that we can visit such beautiful country as India. Thank you very much for the care and heart that the organizers showed us. Without them we would not have such good memories. We only had a small technical problem with live concerts. The dance conditions were very good. Thank you very much for the opportunity. It was a great adventure. We will recommend your festival to other bands from Poland.
Hello! first of all I feel very grateful for the attention they had for us and for having met people as beautiful as you are Ms.Director ! thank you very much... And for what corresponds to the festival it seemed an incredible experience to be able to live and meet people from different countries, know their culture, their folklore and know that we have dance in common, makes the festival an unforgettable experience.
The attention from the organizers seemed very good, I liked the festival I loved the representative dances of the host countries, I fell in love with their costumes and the way they perform their dances. I loved the tours, no words to describe, and as regards the archaeological places, their temples and in general their country I found very interesting and I liked a lot; I hope to participate in your festival again it would be very pleasant for me."
The International Folklore Ethnic Festival was one of a kind experience for us because of the following reasons. First, we were very much blessed to be the representative of the Philippines to India. We are very much thankful because out of many dance troupe we have in the country we were chosen. Second, the festival was an eye opener to all of us. We had the chance to mingle to other nationalities and shared our diverse culture though music and dances.
The director of the Festival Ms.Vagdevi is so down to earth and she personally took care of us like my daughter. As what the festival is trying to convey, We dance to international understanding. From the bottom of the heart of our dancers. We thank you for the experiences you have shared to us. It will be treasured worth love for the rest of our lives.
We are extremely lucky to have such an exciting event in India .There is just so much diversity rolled into one event. There was so much amazing music art and culture. A wonderful diversity of artists, and great stage management made for such a good time. I’ve been to many folk festivals, but this is the first one I’ve enjoyed that had this rich, amazing breadth of talent from other international artists.
The experience was amazing. I had a great time performing in the festival and also meeting the artists from other countries. Speaking of the tours the team took good care of our needs. Watching the Taj Mahal was a dream come true and the aura of the monuments gave us a real glimpse of India. We would like to see you again, but first in our country Tunisia. It would be an honour to visit India again and also perform in the IEFF.
Being in a corporate life, IEFF type of events work as a stress reliever for me. The IEFF is a stage with ultimate talent of different nations.
Though it was the second editon of IEFF, the way the organizers executed the entire IEFF-2016 is a miracle. Stage was brilliant, under the moon light performing on that huge stage is a dream come true for our group. Workshops were arranged which are so thrilling to learn more deeply about other countries culture and people.
Nonetheless we would like to thank all the team of IEFF-2016 for their warm hospitality and rendering endless support, for being so patient and accommodating to our requests. We owe a lot to them and they have definitely enhance our whole experience beautifully which was indeed priceless
Dear Festival Director, I hope our paths meet again. I hold you in my heart. The hospitality and the warm you have shown us is incredible. We love to travel to INDIA again because of IEFF. Wish this year all your dreams come true. Love from all of us. God bless you.
Thank you IEFF team for having us to be part of this prestigious festival and your generous hospitality throughout our entire stay in India.The festival served as a platform for us to meet other inspiring dancers from different parts of the world, as well as to exchange dance genres and cultures - which made it a richer experience.
It was also a soulful opportunity to establish friendships with extremely talented created folklore groups by knowing each other, dancing together and supportive amusement which means celebrating mankind brotherhood through culture in the heart of India’s Capital New Delhi; purely for the appreciation and passion for dance."
We would like to express our thanks for the excellent organization of the festival, for the warm hospitality and for your patience to us for any excessive demand. The behavior of both the organizing committee and volunteers was excellent, which shows the culture of Indians and education that distinguishes them. From our part we think that we would serve the Greek culture to the fullest way always depending on the temperament of each dance."
"Dance unites, brings more people together and nurtures the spirit." To you personally we would like to wish health, happiness and family - career success.
Our dream to visit INDIA is one of our most incredible memory of our lives. We are very thankful to the IEFF festival directors for their patience and they optimistic natures. We are so thrilled by the stages of IEFF. We really enjoyed every bit of our time in INDIA. We love the food which is especially the spicy. The tour to AGRA is never ending experience to us.
