A week-long celebration of the 75th anniversary of India’s independence was started by the Indian Consulate USA, in collaboration with a city-based cultural organization and a children’s museum, which featured traditional Indian paintings, music and storytelling.
On Monday, The Culture Tree said in a statement that The Consulate General of India in New York, The Culture Tree and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan (CMOM) launched the special activities along with interactive programs that focus on celebrating the diversity of India and its people through music, dance, literature, drama, puppetry, and food and art.
Consul General Randhir Jaiswal said while launching the India@75 in New York, “We are extremely excited to bring a celebration on India to all the children and their families in New York. We are committed to celebrating freedom, culture and achievements of India in all these years”.
The partnership with the Children’s Museum and The Culture Tree was hailed as a way to “celebrate India during this milestone year.”
Using language, art, puppet shows, dance, food and the holidays, The Culture Tree provides South Asian themed educational and cultural programs for children and their families that nurture a deep connection with their roots and the world around them.
