As per the statement, the Culture Working Group (CWG) meeting under India's G20 Presidency will highlight 'Culture Unites All' in campaign mode to bring out India's unwavering belief in multilateralism based on peaceful coexistence among diverse cultures and communities.

It said that in today's interconnected world, culture plays a crucial role in driving collaborative outcomes, and promotes inclusivity and harmonious living

"The theme 'Culture Unites All' recognizes that although cultural traditions and practices may vary greatly, they often share underlying values and principles. Culture, in all its mfestations, has the potential to transcend boundaries, foster connections and inspire genuine dialogue and understanding among individuals, communities, and nations," read the statement.

"Culture provides pathways to collaborate and develop sustainable and balanced solutions to contemporary global challenges," it added.

The statement further added that encapsulating the essence of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,' the message of 'Culture Unites All' embodies a holistic vision to work towards a collective sustainable future and universal well-being.

Credited as a pioneer of sand art in India, Sudarshan Pattnaik is the recipient of the third highest civilian honour, the Padma Shri, for his distinguished service. "His sand art installations are world-renowned and has represented India in various competitions at a global level. Pattnaik believes in using his art as a means of spreading awareness about social and environmental issues, and as a catalyst to spread the message of peace and harmony while bringing people together for a shared cause," the statement added.

"Despite the cultural and regional differences in the practice of sand art around the world, there is a commonality that ties them all together. At its core, sand art celebrates the beauty of the natural world and its temporary character. This sustainable art form, created from readily available sand and water at the beach, does not add or take away from the balance of nature," it informed.
