Intia-päivä – 2019 - India Day / About
Monipuolista tietoa mukavalla tavalla Intiasta
Kaisaniemen puistossa järjestetään sunnuntaina 18.8.2019 koko perheen ilmainen,
värikäs ja maistuva tutustumismatka Intiaan. Tämä on jo neljäs kerta, kun
intialainen yhteisö Suomessa, Intian suurlähetystö ja Suomi-Intia-Seura järjestävät
kaikille aisteille tarkoitetun tapahtuman. Aikaisemmat päivät ovat jo tuoneet
mieleen ajatuksen: tämä on kuin suoraan Intiasta! Intia päivä on vuoden suurin ja
laajin tapahtuma, missä ihmeellinen Intia esittäytyy.
