This event, celebrates the South Asian culture in arts, music, dance, wares and culinary delights. We bring this year exclusively to your eyes a wonderful group of artists to entertain you, comprising of both professional and local artists for a fun filled day of entertainment.
India is a diverse country with 28 states and 7 union territories each of them rich in their own language [(29 different languages as per the 2001 census (not dialects)], arts and culture, the Mela attempts to present a dynamic cross section of these cultures.
Entertainments includes:
Aly as your MC
Interactive dance by Kama Entertainment
Sitar renditions by Prosad along with exclusive workshop
Bhangra Dance and drums from Punjab by Sone Gabru Punjab de
Classical Indian Bharatanatyam by Abiramy Dance Academy

Gujarati Garbo - A highly acclaimed performace
Bollywood adaptations bringing colours and sparkles by Swati
Songs by our own great artists Neha (Hindi songs) and Ranjit (Punjabi songs)
Food and Beverages:
Come and experience the spices of India in its most flavored and savored food specialties including Butter Chicken, Chole Bature, Aloo Tikki, ChatPapri, Samosa, Daal, and other snacks by Minar whose delicacies has tingled our taste buds in the past.
Shopping:
The bazaar brings to you fine Indian clothing including sarees, chutidhar, wares and jewellery . Many people find bargains at the Mela and relish wearing the colorful clothes.
For those who are new to the culture and have a passing knowledge of it, our attempt is to provide a small variety of a very large and a very diverse region of the world, and may I say the next to most populated region of the world. A presentation of the different tastes, music, dance, arts from the various states in one day is impossible, but through Mela, we shall provide a glimpse of the wondrous world that is INDIA and its surrounding region.
This Mela would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, vendors, performers and the wonderful efforts of our volunteers.
COME, PARTICIPATE, EXPERIENCE AND ENJOY THIS EVENT.
