A life-size replica of the pre-historic "Dancing Girl" sculpture from Mohenjo-daro has been installed at the reception area of the G20 Summit venue, Bharat Mandapam, in Delhi. The 120-kg replica is made out of bronze and will rotate on an elevated podium. While the actual height of the around 4,500-year-old sculpture is 10.5 cm, the replica is 5 feet in height.
The Dancing Girl is one of the most iconic artifacts of the Indus Valley Civilization. It is a bronze statuette of a young woman in a dancing pose. The sculpture is highly detailed and captures the grace and beauty of the dancer.
The installation of the life-size replica of the Dancing Girl at the G20 Summit venue is a significant event. It is a symbol of India's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to promoting cultural diplomacy. The sculpture is also a reminder of the importance of gender equality and women's empowerment.
The G20 Summit is an annual meeting of the heads of state and government of the world's 20 largest economies. The summit will be held in Delhi from October 31 to November 1, 2023. The theme of the summit is "Building a Sustainable Future".
The installation of the Dancing Girl sculpture is a fitting way to welcome the leaders of the world to India. The sculpture is a reminder of India's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to promoting sustainable development.
The sculpture was created by a team of artists and craftsmen from the National Museum in Delhi. It took them over a year to complete the sculpture. The sculpture was made using traditional bronze casting techniques.
The sculpture is now on display at the reception area of Bharat Mandapam. It is open to the public for viewing.
