With the support of the Representative Office of Rossotrudnichestvo in India, an international scientific conference on the topic: "The concept of "Motherland" in the literary traditions of Hindi and Russian literature" was held at the site of the Hindi Department of Bharati College of the University of Delhi, in which employees of the Russian House in New Delhi and the Embassy of Russia in India took part.
Representatives of the A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Yasnaya Polyana Museum, the Museum of the East and the Roerich Museum (Moscow) also took part in the event.
This conference was devoted to examining the concept of "Motherland" as a central theme in both Hindi and Russian literary traditions.
Russian classical literature, represented by Pushkin, Lermontov, Tolstoy and others, explored the concept of the Motherland through the themes of patriotism, spiritual history and culture. In contrast, Indian literature often personifies the Motherland as a nurturing “Bharat Mata,” emphasizing its spiritual and nurturing aspects. Authors such as Tagore, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, and Mahatma Gandhi celebrated the sacred duty of honoring and cherishing the land, viewing it as a maternal figure deserving of reverence and care. Ultimately, the concept of the Motherland in both literatures serves as a powerful tool for exploring themes of identity, sacrifice, and nationality, demonstrating the deep connection humans have with the land and its influence on our collective consciousness.

A master class by doll artist Marusya Novokreshchenova on creating traditional Russian rag dolls was held at the Russian House in New Delhi.
Russian students tried to make Russian folk figurines with their own hands for the first time. To create them, they used cotton fabric, threads and body filler. Traditionally, ash, grain, flax tow or rags were used to stuff the dolls.
Rag dolls originated from ritual figurines associated with the worship of a female deity, cults of fertility, ancestors and the hearth. Ash, grain, flax tow and rags were used to stuff the rag dolls. It was believed that such dolls brought good luck to the home and drove out illnesses. "During the process of creating dolls, we were able to relax our souls, feel the joy of the beauty born in our hands and better understand Russian culture," the Indian students shared their emotions.
