OUR MISSION

Indian festivals and other cultural events have been organised in the past by a small group of volunteers. However, since the Indian community has grown in the last few years, also friends and acquaintances of other countries and cultural backgrounds have shown interest to participate in our cultural events, it needs to be continued and developed in a more organised manner.

The purpose of the association is to sustain and promote culture, customs and traditions within Indian community and its integration with wider society. Further, to keep our Indian heritage and culture alive, and make youth and children aware of their cultural roots.

Also, to provide opportunity to the international community to get introduced and know about Indian culture and festivals.
