An ensemble of over 100 artists, mostly from India as well as other BRICS member countries, will perform at a gala dinner hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for various world leaders on the opening day of the group’s summit at the Bharat Mandapam, people familiar with the matter said.
India is hosting the BRICS summit at a sprawling venue in central Delhi on September 12-13, which will be attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and several other heads of state, among other dignitaries.
The ensemble size will be around 160 people, with the core of the troupe comprising Indian dancers and musicians.
