How to use a live Instagram and Twitter feed in India

How to use a live Instagram and Twitter feed in India

Some key events in India that are perfect for a live Eventstagram feed include:

- Diwali parties
- The grand prix
- Indian weddings

Diwali, a shortened version of the word “Deepavali” or “row of lamps,” is a five day festival celebrated by Hindus throughout the world. Diwali is one of the most important Hindu holidays and involves lighting small clay oil lamps that signify the triumph of good over evil.
Instagram photos can be seen of Diwali in so many countries, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore.




An amusing article from the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24727035 about how technology is changing Indian weddings can be seen here, but we think that Instagram in particular is changing Indian weddings too! Many brides (as well as wedding dress companies) are enjoying showcasing their special dress. The big day can also be celebrated with a live Instagram wall at the wedding venue, so that everyone can share their photos with the happy couple!




The Indian Grand Prix brings lots of press and glamour to India with drivers and divas from Bollywood attending the glamorous events around race day. With Instagram growing massively at events such as this, thousands can be seen at Formula one events. Here, it would be perfect to display a live social media feed so that everyone (at the event or not) can share the experience with other fans. Here at Eventstagram, we are really pleased to be able to offer our service globally!



If you are planning an event where you would like to have a real-time Instagram and Twitter feed, get in touch! :D
