The event was attended by about 100 members including representatives of various community associations, members of PEPTIM - that represents the practitioners of Traditional Indian Medicine in Malaysia - and media representatives.

The Consulate General of India in Houston, in collaboration with diaspora organisations, also hosted a special event on the occasion of Kashi Tamil Sangamam 3.0 on February 16. The event featured a panel discussion on ‘Sage Agastya’s Contributions – Work, Wisdom & Influence’, with insights from Naga Ganesan, Thangavel Vijayalakshmi, Rajesh Garga, and Soundar Jeyabal, the Consulate detailed in a social media post.

A large number of Indian-American community members attended, making it a successful and engaging gathering. The prestigious cultural initiative is being organised by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with various ministries and the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The KTS seeks to provide an opportunity for scholars, students, philosophers, traders, artisans, artists and people from other walks of life from the two regions to come together, share their knowledge, culture and best practices and learn from each other’s experience.

“Kashi Tamil Sangamam begins.
