🎨 🌄 #OTD, 150 years ago, on October 9, 1874, the outstanding Russian painter, thinker and traveller, Nicholas Roerich, was born.

🤔 Even in his early years, he showed a deep interest in Indian culture and philosophy. Later, having moved to this country, he began to study and carefully popularize the local culture and spiritual traditions. His creative legacy became a link between the cultures of Russia and India, significantly influencing the development of relations between the two powers.

🏔️ Roerich is rightly considered a master of mountain landscapes. In his paintings, the majestic peaks of the Himalayas appear not just as geographical objects, but as symbols of spiritual ascent and cosmic harmony. The artist masterfully conveyed the mystical atmosphere of the mountains, their rugged beauty and grandeur, which made his paintings recognizable all over the world.

🇷🇺🤝🇮🇳 The legacy of this unique creator plays a key role in strengthening Russian-Indian ties. His works displayed in the galleries of both countries are a symbol of cultural unity and mutual understanding between the peoples, inspiring them to develop friendly relations and cultural exchange.

🏔 On October 9-10, the Roerich Museum-Estate in the Himalayan Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh, hosted jubilee celebrations dedicated to the 150th birth anniversary of Nicholas Roerich and the 120th birth anniversary of his son Svetoslav Roerich, outstanding Russian painters, thinkers and travellers.

👥 The ceremony was attended by Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov and Torul S Raveesh, Deputy Commissioner, Kullu District. Among other guests were residents of Naggar, volunteers, Indian public and cultural figures, Russian compatriots and foreign tourists.

📰 In his welcoming address, Denis Alipov underscored that honoring the Roerich family in Kullu, who personifies the multifaceted cultural and historical ties between Russia and India, has become a good tradition.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 The programme of celebrations was opened with Shanti Puja – a prayer for peace and well-being, held next to the memorial stone installed at the site of Nicholas Roerich's cremation. It was followed by a solemn ceremony of raising the national flags of Russia and India, as well as the Banner of Peace.

🎶 As part of the concert on the stage of the estate, memorable creative numbers of young students of the Helena Roerich Academy of Arts were presented. The highlight of the celebrations was a bright performance by the honored folk dance ensemble "Stanitsa" from Krasnodar.
