India was the subject of one of the embassy events back in late September in the Horticulture Building.
Art, landscape photography, and food were all part of the event, as was music.
Clothing was also on display, with mixes of rich colours.
This is called the Odissi Dance. Performance in one way or another is a big part of these events, with different performers throughout a given day. I will have the last set of these Ottawa Welcomes The World events later on in December.
India does indeed seem incredible. The colors of saris can be so lush and rich.
ReplyDeleteÍndia um país cheio de história e misticismo.

This week I read an article about the fact that the Taj Mahal is loosing its brilliant white colour because of air polution.

ReplyDeleteIndia is so vast with so many differences in climate and cultures. It's wonderful to see that these exhibits help people understand more of what the nation is about.

ReplyDelete@Carol: thank you!
@Whisk: it was.
@RedPat: definitely!
@Tanya: I assume so, but it's a bit too hot for my tastes!
The Tigers really stand out to me in this colourful display!
