Family friendly activities for all ages. \r2:30 pm \"Majestic Himalayas\" - skits and information by Spirit of India (children's arts group)\r\rPack your bag for a trip to India! On Sundays from February 3 to March 10, we’re visiting sites across India and Indians living throughout the world as we explore some of the environments, histories, and cultures that make up this diverse modern nation. We’ll start in Bengal in the east and travel the length and breadth of the country before visiting centers in the global Indian diaspora. \r\rEach week in Get to Know India, we’ll feature a different region of India with activities that will explore the natural environment, arts, architecture, literature, language, and history specific to that area. Collect recipes for delicious dishes, complete with shopping lists with ingredients readily available in local stores. Help complete the collage of Indian landscapes and architecture in our exhibit. Dance along with songs from Bollywood films. Create art led by guest educators from the Indian community of Champaign-Urbana.  \r\rSome days have performances at particular times: \r\r2/24/2019 Rajasthani fusion dance and Maratha skit by Spirit of India (children's arts group) (2:45 pm)\r3/10/2019 Fashion show by SPICMACAY (2:00 pm)\r\rThe Get to Know India series is part of the NEA Big Read community reading program.
