Zayed Sports City Stadium to host the reception, followed by much-awaited opening of Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi on February 14
A Grand welcome, including a series of captivating performances, has been planned for a reception in Abu Dhabi where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the expat community. The event titled ‘Ahlan Modi’ is being planned as the largest Indian community summit and will be held on February 13, organisers said.
The Indian Prime Minister will also inaugurate the BAPS Hindu Mandir – the region’s first traditional stone temple. The much-awaited opening of the temple will be marked with a unique ‘Festival of Harmony’ on February 14. ‘Ahlan Modi’ will highlight the growing UAE-India relationship and the rich culture and heritage through performances featuring more than 400 artists during a splendid reception at Zayed Sports City Stadium.
The event marks a “significant moment for the Indian diaspora to reflect on the Indian government’s accomplishments over the past decade and to embrace Prime Minister Modi’s vision for India’s future as a global leader,” the organisers said in a statement. The event will be a collaborative effort of more than 150 Indian community organisations in the UAE.
