What I admire most is its open doors of communication to all individuals I know, be it a cultural event, grand religious ceremony, charity event, an artist's exhibition, Arangetram or the pride of a Marathon runner, it always provided simple and effective platform. It is said that 'Simplicity is the most extraordinary achievement' and with that character Lokvani provides extraordinary support and enrichment to South Asian community.
