India-Israel Relations

INDIA THROUGH ISRAELI EYES

Photography Exhibition: Sep 25, 2010 – Oct 8, 2010

India is today a favourite destination for Israeli travellers. Thousands of them, particularly among the young, have travelled to India and some visit the country every year. From the heights of Ladakh to the beaches of Goa, they develop a close friendship with India’s people and its ancient culture, its spirituality and its technological advancement, its multi-cultural unity and its diversity. This friendship in turn enriches the bilateral relationship in the form of strong people-to-people bonds.

2. With the objective of bringing out the different images of India that form in the minds of Israeli tourists, the Embassy of India organised a photography competition under the theme “India through Israeli eyes”, inviting photographs from people who have travelled to India. The Embassy received around 300 photographs from more than 50 photographers from across the country. The best 20 among them are exhibited under the theme “India through Israeli eyes” organised at ZOA House in Tel Aviv in cooperation with the ZOA Gallery.

3. The exhibition was inaugurated by the Indian Ambassador H.E. Navtej Sarna on September 25, 2010. The opening ceremony was attended by senior officials from the Israeli government, members of the Diplomatic corps, leading journalists, prominent artists and members of the Indian community in Israel among others. The winners of the photography contest were awarded prizes during the event. The exhibition is opened for the public from September 25, 2010 to October 8, 2010.
