Visited the pavilion yesterday! The Tarakashi silver art from Odisha was breathtaking. But queues were too long - organizers should manage crowd better. Still worth the wait though!
Yoga sessions at expo are brilliant idea! Japan's work culture is stressful, our ancient wellness practices can really help them. Hope they include Ayurveda next time ðŸ™
While I appreciate the effort, why only Kashmir walnut carvings? India has 1000s of crafts - showcase more diversity! Also missing South Indian silk exhibits which are world famous.
The Kathak performance videos gave me goosebumps! Our classical dances deserve more global recognition. Japan's precision meets India's grace - perfect cultural exchange â¤ï¸
As foreigner living in Osaka, India pavilion was most colorful! Loved the space exhibit - didn't know India had such advanced space program. Will definitely visit again with family.
