India Day celebrated in Moscow

Vivid colours, the aroma of spices and incense, and conversations in Hindi: a large-scale ethnic festival, India Day, took place in Moscow on Monday. This is the seventh time the festival has been held in Russia. According to the organisers, Moscow’s weather has never failed them: despite all forecasts, the sun always shines in the capital on India Day. There was an Indian bazaar at the festival, where there were more than 120 stalls. Jewellery, spices, silk scarves, natural cosmetics and souvenirs, tea, and even furniture were showcased.
