India Summer Days 2025
The 2025 edition continued the successful format. Classical dance performances by Bharatanatyam and Kathak dancers from South and North India, Bollywood performances by Karlsruhe dance schools, Bhangra drummers from Punjab, and classical music (sitar, tabla) characterized the stage program.
The Indian street food — curries, dosa, samosas, naan, lassi, chai — drew queues, the bazaar with saris, jewelry, and henna tattoos was a magnet, and the morning yoga sessions found their regular attendees. The parallel India Week Karlsruhe complemented the festival with readings, film screenings, and exhibitions on German-Indian relations.
