This year at the Diplomatic Fair at Hotel commenced an awesome and colourful participation by the Indian Embassy within two scintillating performances by Amrita Sher-Gil Cultural Center.The newly assigned Ambassador H.E Kumar Tuhin to Hungary attended the fair and was touched by the beautiful displays here in Budapest.
Last but not least, the British Ambassador to Hungary himself, a proud Scot clad in his kilt welcomed two Scot Lads also fully dress from head-to-toe Scottish style (Scottish Kilts … one of the most recognizable symbols of Scotland and Scottish culture) and of course the bagpipe was not missed).
The main attraction so much awaited by the visitors to watch the two Scot Lads playing on bagpipe
