Authentic program is part of DAS FEST in the Günther-Klotz-Anlage Karlsruhe
Music, dance, culinary delights, a bazaar, yoga, hands-on activities and information about India – all in the heart of Karlsruhe: this year’s INDIA SUMMER DAYS will once again offer a wide range of activities from Friday to Sunday, 19 to 21 July 2024. Parallel to the activities around the DAS FEST stages in the Günther-Klotz-Anlage, the “Indian village” will once again be integrated in the area of the active playground with free admission.

Join, enjoy and make your own experiences.
Indian festivals in particular are a series of joyful moments that have always brought people together, promoted happiness and spread culture – and they can be experienced in Karlsruhe.

The traditional and modern aspects of Indian culture can be experienced at the INDIA SUMMER DAYS, with the stalls in the village offering spices, body painting with henna, clothing and textiles, handicrafts, singing bowls, incense, jewellery, pictures, books and decorative material as well as information on Indian culture and tourism!
