Description
:

The Festival of India theUSSR, to be inaugurated on July 3, 1987, is the largest cultural manifestation to be held by our country. It follows the xtremely successful Festivals held earlier in Britain, 1982, the USA 1985-86, and France 1985-86 and in terms of size and scope, is larger than these. The basic concept of the Festival of India is to increase the awareness and understanding of India in the outside world by projecting aspects of her ancient and living heritage and also her contemporary life and aspirations. Thus, the varied programme of exhibitions, performing arts, films, seminars and youth and sports activities to be held in the USSR wwill unfold both classical and contemprary art, ancient dance forms and the leap into the future of India's scientific and technological achievements.

Traditional Indian Sports and the continuing concern for conservation and ecology. 20 Exhibitions, over 1700 performing artists drawn from the folk, tribal and classical streams, 80 feature films and 17 major seminars are planned for the year-long festival. The activities span over 50 cities across 15 Republics of the Soviet Union, giving India her widest-ever exposure in this vast land.

What is particularly significant is the element of reciprocity and exchange. In November, 1987 the Soviet Union will hold the Festival of the USSR in India, which will also have the duration of one year. The two Festivals celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Great October Revolution of the USSR.
