Little India Market to be launched on Saturday

The "Little India Market" will be officially launched tomorrow in the heart of the Manama Suq, near the Indian Temple.

Held weekly between the 16:00 and 20:00, the Little India Market will host a variety of Indian food, crafts and music for the whole family to enjoy.

"The ‘Little India in Bahrain’ project celebrates and documents the contribution of the Indian community to the history and progress of Bahrain, with almost 4000 years of history shared between the two countries. Little India in Bahrain is tantamount to Bahrain’s Cultural Tourism (and part of the "Seven Experiences" of the Kingdom).

"The project will give back to the Indian community while promoting the area to cultural tourists and locals through a series of site-specific interventions along Al Hadrami and Al Muatasim Avenues," the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (BACA).
