Cultural Festival an Indio Asian Academy

On Wednesday we attended a wonderful ceremony at the Indo Asian Academy. It including a lighting of a lamp, an honoring of the guests from the United States where they presented the 3 faculty members with a shawl, a sandelwood lei, and gifts and the students with a lei and gifts. Students then performed dances and songs from their local region or country. Below are pictures of the some of the students in their native dress. Some pictures look smoky because they had a smoke machine and added the smoke at appropriate times. It was an amazing event and alot of time and effort was put into it. I loved the ceremony and attention to detail.
