Attended the ‘Celebrating India-ASEAN Cultural Harmony’ event at the Shantanand Auditorium, Temple of Fine Arts, Kuala Lumpur, and it was a vibrant cultural experience! Hosted by the High Commission of India and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Indian Cultural Centre, the event showcased deep India-ASEAN ties through mesmerizing performances. The auditorium, a 500-seat gem in the heart of Brickfields, offered a warm, intimate setting with excellent acoustics and a clear view of the stage. The program featured a stunning Joget dance from Malaysia, Cambodia’s Coconut dance, the Bamboo dance from India’s Northeast, and a colorful retelling of the Ramayana, all highlighting shared heritage. Over 600 guests, including diplomats and locals, filled the space with energy. The staff were courteous, ensuring smooth entry and seating. The venue’s cultural significance, nestled near temples and the Klang River, added to the charm. Free entry made it accessible, though early arrival is advised for prime seats. A truly enriching evening of art and unity! #TempleOfFineArts #IndiaASEAN...

I sincerely hope the management considers having more approachable and helpful staff available to guide newcomers. Creating an inviting and supportive atmosphere is essential if we want future generations regardless of background to feel encouraged to explore and embrace Indian...
