The Day of Slavic Writing and Culture was celebrated at the Russian House in New Delhi.

The program began with an inspiring master class on Slavic calligraphy led by Russian artist Olga Levchenko. Participants touched the art of ancient writing, learned to draw Cyrillic letters with grace and precision, conveying the spirit of the times.

As part of the cultural program, Indian students of Russian language courses recited poems of great classics of Russian literature with inspiration and performed soulful Russian folk songs, filling the space with sincere feelings and warmth.

A special event was the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the famous journey of the Russian merchant Afanasy Nikitin - "Journey Beyond Three Seas", one of the first Europeans to visit India. This unique monument of Russian literature of the 15th century, included in the chronicle of 1489, became a symbol of the first historical ties between Russia and India.

A pleasant continuation of the program was the screening of the feature film "Pardesi" - the first ever joint Soviet-Indian film project, released in 1957. The film is based on the travel notes of traveler Afanasy Nikitin. The film aroused keen interest among viewers and became a reason for reflection on deep historical ties.

Another exhibition dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the Slavic alphabet, attracted special attention. The exposition told about their contribution to the development of culture and education, and also emphasized the value of the Slavic alphabet as a spiritual and historical foundation.
