"I am glad that "Day of India" is organized on such a special occasion: on August 15, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Independence," said Indian Ambassador to Russia Pawan Kapoor at the opening of the festival "Day of India" in Moscow.
In the capital of Russia a real "little India" was opened for everyone in the amusement park "Dream Island": meditations, master classes in yoga and ayurveda, performances by Indian drummers, and much more.
The holiday was dedicated to a significant date: the 75th anniversary of the independence of India and the establishment of Russian-Indian diplomatic relations. In honor of this, guests of the festival planted 75 trees in the park.
The chess stand also deserves special attention, because on July 28, the 44th World Chess Olympiad was held in the Indian city of Chennai, and ex-world champion Vishwanathan Anand became the first vice president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE).
