From 5 to 13, July Manezhnaya Square, one of the central locations of the «Summer in Moscow» project, will host Bharat Utsav - Festival of India in Moscow. Residents and visitors of the capital will have the opportunity to learn more about Indian culture and traditions. The event is organized by the Moscow Government in cooperation with the Embassy of India in the Russian capital.
The venue, decorated with hundreds of exotic plants, will feature chalets offering national dishes and souvenirs. As part of the cultural program, hundreds of events will be held for visitors, including vibrant performances, dance master classes, Hindi lessons, and much more. Every morning and evening, Russian and Indian ensembles will take the stage.
During the festival, International artists will host creative workshops open to everyone. For example, participants will have a chance to play the pair of tabla drums, learn the movements of Kathak and Kuchipudi dances, and study the basics of conversational Hindi.
In addition, an exhibition of artworks from various regions of India will open on Manezhnaya Square.
Cultural Exchange
Moscow cooperates with India across all key areas — from trade and creative industries to tourism. India ranks second among non-CIS countries in terms of tourist arrivals to the Russian capital. In just the first quarter of 2025, about 18,000 Indian travelers visited our city — one and a half times more than during the same period last year.
