New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) After successfully hosting "Festival of India" in China, South Africa and Japan, the ministry of culture Tuesday revealed that the next destinations to showcase India's cultural heritage would be South Korea, Australia, Mauritius and Myanmar.
In a video conference with the ambassadors and high commissioners of respective countries, Culture Secretary Ravindra Singh said "these festivals can be used to showcase Indian art, culture, life and achievements".
He also shared the experience of the festivals held in other countries and various themes of these festivals like Buddhism, yoga and exhibitions on cricket.
