Panasonic lights up the Rudraksh Convention Centre; showcases sustainability with its electrical solutions

The year 2022 marks 70 years of diplomatic relations between India and Japan. The roots of this friendship lie in spiritual affinity and strong cultural ties. In 2015, a state-of-the-art international convention centre called Rudraksh was planned to strengthen this equation further. This has been constructed by Japan’s Grant Aid through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

Built in the shape of a ‘Shivalinga’, this centre was designed as a hub for cultural exchange, while also illustrating the confluence of Indian and Japanese architecture. The Rudraksh Convention Centre in Varanasi is symbolic of India’s progress as a nation, ready to embrace its potential. This centre promotes social and cultural exchanges amongst locals, national and global visitors. The aim is to contribute to sustainable urban development by creating business opportunities and academic development through conferences. This significant emblem of India and Japan’s friendship also adds to Varanasi’s heritage.
