India
Prime Minister Modi kicked off the BRICS summit in New Delhi with a lively gala dinner at Bharat Mandapam.
The night featured a 160-member ensemble of artistes from India and other BRICS countries, performing the "BRICS Symphony" for leaders like China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin.
It was all about celebrating unity and friendship through music and dance.
'One Rhythm, Many Cultures' blends traditions
The show, called "One Rhythm, Many Cultures," mixed Indian classical dances, like Bharatanatyam and Kathak, with music from other BRICS nations, blending traditions to highlight their shared spirit.
This comes as BRICS expands to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia, showing how the group is growing stronger (and more diverse) together.
