Thousands of kilometres away from India, the influence of Sanatan Dharma and Indian culture continues to grow in New Zealand. In Auckland, The Third Eye store has been promoting Indian spirituality, yoga, colourful traditional attire, and cultural artefacts for the past 26 years.
Speaking to Akashvani, Kim Holuuerda said there is a growing fascination among New Zealanders with Indian culture, yoga, and Hindu gods and goddesses. She said many local visitors come to the store to explore India’s spiritual traditions and often return with family and friends, reflecting their deep interest in India’s rich cultural heritage. The store has become a unique cultural space, highlighting how India’s timeless traditions continue to connect people beyond borders.
