The Consulate General of India in Seattle was honoured to host a warm Iftar gathering, bringing together a large number of community leaders and members of the Indian diaspora. The evening reflected the spirit of Ramadan — compassion, unity, and service — and celebrated India’s rich tradition of pluralism and shared heritage. We were especially pleased to welcome members of the Dawoodi Bohra community, along with leaders from diverse faiths and backgrounds. Moments like these strengthen the bonds of friendship, harmony, and mutual respect within our vibrant community. Ramadan Mubarak! #Ramadan #Iftar #IndiaInSeattle #IndianDiaspora #UnityInDiversity (15 March 2026, CGI Seattle) @MEAIndia @IndianEmbassyUS @AmbVMKwatra @Dawoodi_Bohras
