India’s presence at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka has captured international attention, as the India Pavilion, aptly titled ‘Bharat Mandap’, has been ranked among the top five most admired pavilions at the global event. According to Yamamoto-san, Deputy Pavilion Director and representative of the Japan Travel Bureau (JTB), the India Pavilion shares this honor with those of the United States, Italy, France, and Japan.
This recognition is based on feedback from Expo organizers, Japanese citizens, and significant online engagement across social media platforms. The Pavilion has been hailed for its blend of tradition and innovation, offering an immersive cultural and technological journey to its global visitors.
For the first time, the Ministry of Culture has taken charge of curating the India Pavilion, a responsibility previously held by the Ministry of Commerce. The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) has been appointed as the nodal agency to design and execute this international showcase.
Dr. Sachchidanand Joshi, Member Secretary of IGNCA, described the Pavilion as “a comprehensive reflection of India’s ancient knowledge systems, modern technological aspirations, and growing global footprint.”
Strategically positioned in the ‘Connecting Lives Zone’, the Bharat Mandap reflects India’s civilisational ethos while projecting its contemporary priorities in sustainable development, innovation, and digital growth. The Pavilion is more than a structural wonder — it is a vibrant space of cultural diplomacy that invites visitors to engage with India’s story through exhibits, artistic installations, and live cultural performances.
Despite receiving the space allocation at a later stage, the IGNCA executed the Pavilion with remarkable speed and elegance. The collaborative effort with Japanese authorities has resulted in a seamless integration of Indian heritage and futuristic vision, earning appreciation from diplomats, tourists, and cultural experts worldwide.
One of the standout features of the India Pavilion is its inclusive and accessible experience. Unlike other pavilions that are often marred by long queues and limited entry, Bharat Mandap offers a welcoming environment, ensuring visitors can explore and enjoy without hassle.
As the Pavilion remains open to the public until October 13, 2025, it continues to attract a growing number of international guests eager to experience the Spirit of Bharat firsthand.
