since it is spent on a cultural festival of govt, why not and who is going to stop him/her if they want?
I have mentioned a possibility only,even if it is hypothetical.

Why somebody needs a certificate u/s 80G for benefit in such matters. it is not donation. The company would have put its banners at the cultural festival and its name would have been printed on souvenirs.
The company has incurred sponsorship expenditure for advancement of its business and all such expenses are allowed as genuine business deduction under advertisement expenses.
