The
India Foundation of Dayton is
an educational and cultural organization that promotes
Indian history and culture in the Miami Valley through
film showings, seminars, cultural presentations, art exhibits,
concerts, plays, speeches and more. Formed in 1986, the
organization has presented events in cooperation with
the University of Dayton, the Dayton Council on World
Affairs, Wright State University, Antioch College and
other area colleges and schools.
For this festival, the India Foundation
will partner with Mall of India, a
unique retail store located in Beavercreek, to display
Indian cooking utensils, recipes and foods and demonstrate
such staples of Indian cuisine as chicken tikka, mango
lassi, pulao and chana masala. Mall of India sells hundreds
of items from India—from CDs and DVDs to food
and spices to clothing and jewelry. The store, which
opened in May 2006, also offers Indian cooking lessons,
Indian art classes and ticket and travel services.
