History

The embassy consists of several buildings, including an aristocratic style "Chancery Building", a rational-modern style ambassador's residence, and a French style building known as "Napoleon's Dacha". The Chancery building was previously owned by an arts patron, a textile magnate, and the Soviet government, before being transferred to the Indian government in 1952 to become the embassy it is today. [1]

In June 2023, an event called "Namaste Moscow" was held at the embassy to facilitate cultural exchange between India and Russia. [2]

In August 2023, the embassy held celebrations commemorating 76 years since Indian independence. [3]
