The Consulate General of India in Brisbane, in association with Om Positive Organisers, will host Hindi Diwas 2026 on Saturday, 12 September, bringing together Hindi speakers, families and community members for an afternoon of language, poetry and cultural presentations.
The event will be held from 1pm to 3pm at The Polish Club Milton, 10 Marie Street, Milton, Queensland.
The programme includes an essay and poetry competition for children, along with Hindi poetry, recitation and recollections. Cultural performances and presentations will also feature during the afternoon.
Organisers are inviting children and community members to take part in the various activities. A free distribution of Hindi copies of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is also listed as part of the programme.
Those wishing to participate in the competitions and presentations are asked to register by Wednesday, 2 September 2026. Attendance registration is also available for people who wish to attend the event without participating in the programme.
Hindi Diwas is observed annually to recognise the Hindi language and its place in India’s linguistic and cultural life. For the Brisbane event, organisers are presenting the day as an opportunity for families and community members to engage with Hindi through spoken and written activities, poetry and performances.
Attendance and participation registrations can be completed through the links provided by the organisers.
The event is being supported by a number of community and media organisations in Queensland.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Thank you for your support.
