Indian Summer Mela

2011 Indian Summer Mela, Sunday 10 July

The Ipswich and Suffolk Indian Association helds its ninth Indian Summer Mela, a rich and colourful celebration of South Asian culture. People from different parts of Suffolk came to Christchurch Park, Ipswich to enjoy the free event which included a variety of performances, activities and displays.

For the first time 'Incredible India'- a separate cultural marquee was set up to give people insight of some Indian traditions and art forms. Suffolk Libraries along with CSV helped Ipswich and Suffolk Indian Association set up displays and audio visual screenings about classical dance styles, tribal paintings of India, Indian outfits, holiday destinations, traditional perfumes and art forms like rangoli and henna.
