Lithuanian embassy promotes cultural exchange with Sanskrit-Lithuanian street art in India
The Lithuanian Embassy in India has joined forces with local artists to create a unique street art project that blends the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit with Lithuanian. The project, which aims to promote cultural exchange and strengthen ties between the two nations, features murals depicting Sanskrit and Lithuanian words side-by-side, as well as other artwork inspired by the two languages.
The collaboration is part of the embassy’s ongoing efforts to showcase Lithuania’s rich culture and heritage to Indian audiences and to foster greater understanding and appreciation between the two countries. The Sanskrit-Lithuanian street art project is also an opportunity for Lithuanian artists to showcase their talents on an international platform and explore new ways of expressing their cultural identity.
Sanskrit, which dates back to ancient India, is one of the world’s oldest known languages and is widely considered a sacred language by Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. Lithuanian, on the other hand, is one of the oldest living languages in Europe, with a rich literary tradition and a unique sound and grammar.
The project has been met with enthusiasm from both local communities and visitors, with many expressing appreciation for the creativity and beauty of the murals, as well as the opportunity to learn more about these two fascinating languages and cultures. The collaboration is a testament to the power of art and culture to bridge divides and promote dialogue and understanding between different peoples and nations.
