The post added that Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh shared an inspiring message for the Indian community, while the event was graced by Padma Shri and Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardee Pratibha Prahlad, a renowned Bharatanatyam dancer.
A highlight of the evening was a special dance and musical performance by the female students of Vaidehi Nritha Vidyalayam, Riyadh, who brought to life the message of the Bhagavad Gita through expressive art and movement.
India's Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Suhel Ajaz Khan, said the Gita Mahotsav aimed to highlight the deep cultural and spiritual ties that connect the Indian diaspora with India's civilizational heritage. He added that the festival embodies the universal values of harmony, duty, and selfless action, which are the core teachings of the Gita.
Khan also noted that the Riyadh celebration resonates with the spirit of the International Gita Mahotsav, which will be held later this month in Kurukshetra, Haryana.
The Pravasi Parichay series, launched by the Indian Embassy in 2023, showcases India's vibrant cultural traditions through the active participation of the Indian community in Saudi Arabia.
In his closing remarks, Ambassador Khan felicitated all sponsors and organisers for their contributions in making the Pravasi Parichay Cultural Week a grand success. (ANI)
