World Cultural Festival (WCF) was held on the Yamuna floodplains in New Delhi from 11 March 2016 to 13 March 2016. It was organised by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to celebrate the Art of Living foundation’s 35 years in service. Various political leaders including Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Devendra Fadnavis, Raman Singh and Manish Sisodia attended the event on 12 March 2016. The last day of the cultural extravaganza was attended by many high-profile BJP leaders including Arun Jaitley, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Venkaiah Naidu, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) allowed the Art of Living of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to hold the festival after paying a compensation of ₹5 crore (US$590,000). Initially, around 1,700 officials were deployed for traffic management for the World Cultural Festival and around 300 were on standby for the other events to be held during the same time.
