The Center for Interfaith Cooperation is hosting a live, virtual Festival of Faiths this year.  Even though participants can’t attend physically, they can still experience the cultures, traditions and celebrations of different faiths.

From WFYI's Arts and Culture Desk, Jill Ditmire spoke with CIC board member and Eli Lilly and Company Senior Vice President Aarti Shah about her involvement in the Jain community -- and Jainism.

The Festival of Faiths will broadcast live on the CIC's Facebook page and YouTube channel on Sept. 13 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
