Culture
"Vijay Diwas" is a holiday celebrated by the Indian Navy in Visakhapatnam as a victory over Pakistan in 1971, when a submarine marauded the entire coast and entered the waters of the port of Vizag with the intention of destroying the port. The submarine was sunk by the Indian navy.
Every December, from the third Friday to Sunday, an exclusive three day festival brings to life the arts, crafts, culture and cuisine of Visakhapatnam.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:

—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“To assault the total culture totally is to be free to use all the fruits of mankind’s wisdom and experience without the rotten structure in which these glories are encased and encrusted.”
