Drawing a crowd of over 5000 attendees from diverse backgrounds, the event showcased the essence of unity and diversity within the Indian community.
Holi, a cherished Hindu festival symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the onset of spring, served as a cultural cornerstone for the Indian community, fostering bonds of camaraderie and mutual celebration.
