On June 21, Dr. Ghazal Srinivas held a news conference with organizing committee of International Short Film Festival, and Senior Journalist Sri Pasupuleti Rama Rao released a brochure, specially prepared for this occasion. He observed that in many foreign countries, especially in USA, any historical mementos like even a brick is preserved and display it in National Museums to enrich their traditions and culture.  In India, although we are endowed with richness of millennia of culture, gifted with unbroken cultural heritage, remarkable lineage of the genius of great rishis, and bestowed with unmatched treasures of scriptures, Hindus are not taking proper steps to preserve and protect even Temples found in Ellora, Ajanta and other Temples all across the globes. These Temples represent our age-old culture and traditions, practices of worship, respect for our Deities, and wonders of architectural skills. It is the duty and responsibility of all Hindus to preserve and protect these Temples from being dilapidated. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was started with a mission to preserve, promote and protect Hindu Temples and Hindu Dharma that have been neglected by our own people. It is committed to free the Temples from the Government control by making Hindus aware of the problems our culture is facing due to our own benign negligence and selfish indifference. Dr. Srinivas mentioned that develop interest and passion in preserving the Temples after he met Dr. Velagapudi Prakasa Rao, one of the founding members of GHHF.

In a press meet, Dr. Srinivas mentioned that we are committed to protect the Hindu Temples, cows, Temples lands, Temple assets, Temple jewelry, and integrity of Temple traditions. By organizing the International Short Film Festival on Save Temples, we are committed to spread the awareness among all people the richness of our traditions, fullness of our culture, and wonders of our Temples so that all Hindus will take the pride in preserving their heritage. We are requesting the interested people all over the world to submit the short films on any aspect that revels any aspect of the Temples and / or reveals the mysteries surrounding these Temples that have centuries of unmatched history.
