This pavilion is a state of the art building, one of the largest pavilions at Expo, whose design elements would also reflect the vibrant diversity of India's rich culture, heritage, thriving business milieu, and multiple other aspects.

Expect a showcase of India's past, present, and future

Consisting of four floors, the India Pavilion will showcase the latest technologies and create an ambient, futuristic environment with installations powered by augmented reality and projection mapping.

As you enter the pavilion, you will walk into a starry tunnel that will transport you to outer space for you to witness India's journey into space. As you move further ahead, you will witness India's achievements in the health and wellness sector, highlighting India's vast history of Ayurveda and alternate medicine systems.

• The first floorwill bring you to a world of mesmerising projections and mirrors that present a kaleidoscope of India's colours and cultural vibrance.
  
• The second floorbears witness to India's bilateral partnership with the UAE and the plethora of opportunities that this partnership opens up.
  
• The third floorwill open doors to 'Corporate India' and its growing prowess in various sectors.

Apart from various thematic sections, the India pavilion also hosts an amphitheatre, conference rooms, state pavilions, restaurants, souvenir shops, and much more.

The pavilion is housed in a "living, moving" building

Made up of 600 individual blocks, the facade at the India pavilion will be using kinetic architecture - a mosaic of rotating panels that will showcase 75 stories about the history and literature of the country over 26 weeks.

During the day, the facade will create different moving patterns to celebrate 75 years of India's Independence and every week, these patterns will take the shape of three stories of the 25 sub-themes. Evenings will see the facade turn into a vibrant show with sound, light and projections. India will come alive in action on this facade!

Indian events and festivals will be celebrated here

The India Pavilion is one of those few pavilions at Expo 2020 Dubai that will host numerous conferences, B2B meets, cultural programmes, food festivals, online workshops, cinema screening, debates, and various competitions.

The organisers behind the pavilion have put together a calendar of events that reflects the diversity of Indian cultures and themes. Festivals of India that occur between 01 October 2021 to 31 March 2022, from the sparkling festival of lights, Diwali, to the colourful celebration of Holi, will be celebrated in all their glory and grandeur.
