2024: The United Republic of Tanzania (an African nation).
2019: Nepal.
2018: Mauritius.
The Role of the Partner Country
The Partner Country plays a significant and visible role throughout the Mahotsav:
Cultural Diplomacy: The collaboration strengthens the ties between India and the partner nation, using culture and spirituality as bridges for dialogue and mutual understanding.
Dedicated Pavilion: The Partner Country sets up a full cultural pavilion on the banks of the Brahma Sarovar, showcasing its art, traditional crafts, cuisine, and lifestyle. This offers visitors a unique international cultural experience.
Official Participation: High-ranking government ministers or diplomatic envoys from the partner country attend the main events, such as the inaugural ceremony and the Gita Yagya, highlighting the event’s diplomatic importance.
Global Outreach: The partnership helps the eternal message of the Gita—which emphasizes righteousness, duty, and self-realization—reach a broader audience in the partner country and beyond, often coordinating related events in various cities globally.
The IGM, with the support of its Partner Country, successfully attracts lakhs of devotees and scholars, cementing its position as a major international spiritual and cultural festival.
