MANAMA: Bab Al Bahrain was lit up in shades of the Indian tri-colour yesterday, as Bahrain and India commemorated 50 years of diplomatic relations, while the iconic Qutub Minar, a Unesco heritage site in New Delhi, was simultaneously lit up in red and white representing the Bahraini flag.
The lighting ceremony at the main entrance to the Manama Suq, which dates back to 1949, was followed by a march from the monument to the Heritage Shop led by the Bahrain Police Band and a performance by the Mohammed Bin Faris Band at the Little India Square .
