SEATTLE (Diya TV) — Seattle University, in collaboration with the Consulate General of India in Seattle, inaugurated the first India Culture Week. The three-day event is designed to provide students with an immersive exposure to India’s deep cultural heritage featured a richly diversified program.
Highlights of the celebration included a cultural dance, regional food festival with typical Indian cuisine, and a workshop on Indian heritage arts focused on Madhubani painting. There were also wellness sessions, a photo exhibition under the title “India Through Tim’s Eyes,” and the inauguration of an “India Corner” at the university library-an inventory of 100 curated books donated by the Indian Consulate.
