  • Indian Community in Geneva: The principal aim of our Indian Community is to promote Indian classical fine arts, mainly for the expatriate Indians in Geneva and neighbouring France, in order to retain our link and kindle an awareness of our rich tradition especially among the growing youth. However, due to its popularity all over the world, Indian classical art has slowly attracted the attention of all art lovers in Switzerland and neighbouring France. It started organising its programs using local talents in 1987, and since 1999, it has been hosting programs of versatile professional artists on a regular basis.
