Korean Education Centre India is pleased to announce ‘Korea Culture Day 2026’, Organized by Korean Cultural Centre India, the largest comprehensive Korean cultural festival in India, which will take place from October 23 (Fri) to October 25 (Sun) in New Delhi and Hyderabad.

This year's festival integrates ‘Rang De Korea’, the premier annual cultural event held in Delhi, and ‘K-Harmony Festa’, a roving cultural event visiting key regions across India. Notably, through close collaboration with local and partner organizations—including the Government of Telangana, the Honorary Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Hyderabad, the KOFICE, Touring K-Arts and the Korean Youth Commerce Association in India—the festival will be held for the first time in Hyderabad, a major hub in South India, offering an even richer platform for cultural exchange.

The central theme of the festival, ‘One Light, Two Cities’, draws inspiration from the spirit of Diwali, India’s festival of lights, and the full moon tradition of Chuseok, highlighting shared hope and friendship across different cultures. At the event venue, a landmark zone shaped like a pathway of light will offer visitors a unique visual and cultural connection.
