During the visit, both institutions expressed a shared vision for promoting cross-cultural dialogue, artistic exchange, and sustainable development. This partnership is expected to pave the way for impactful projects that highlight India’s rich cultural heritage on a global platform while aligning with modern sustainability goals. Sundeep Bhutoria also presented Rabindra Nath Tagore’s Gitanjali to Suzanne Vares-Lum, President of the East-West Center in Hawaii.
