Indian ambassador Sanjiv Arora said it was the enormous support received from the local authorities, Qatari people and expatriates of different nationalities for the first two editions that prompted Indian Cultural Centre (ICC) to host `A Passage to India’ festival for the third year.
“The records available with the ICC found that no less than 25,000 thronged the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) grounds when the first festival was held in November 2013,” the envoy recalled. When the second edition was hosted last year at the Katara Cultural Village, the numbers swelled to more than 60,000, he said. Several Qatari families were among the visitors, he recalled.
While remembering the support extended by the local authorities, and the visitors to the fest in the first two editions, Arora said the embassy and ICC are expecting even a larger participation for this year’s festival.
