The three volumes published are as follows: Manu’s Code translated from Sanskrit, and Bhisham Sahni’s famous novel Darkness from Hindi to Hungarian by Indologist Bernadett Judit Borbély, along with A Hungarian–Hindi Student’s Thesaurus (Ek Sārgarbhit Hindī Shabdāvalī) created by Indologist Péter Sági, Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Indian Studies. All the three volumes have been published by L’Harmattan Publising House with the financial support of Indian Council for Cultural Relations and the Embassy of India in Hungary.

Later the audience could attend a podium discussion on the new volumes.
