Besides the variety of Indian food, Indian arts, music, dances and fashion show made the India Day a very special for the Indians who are settled here.
Popular music from  Bollywood films dominated the stage as artists performed dances for the enjoyment of the spectators. The fashion show too won many hearts as the participants in vibrant dresses cat-walked on the stage. A few young girls, attired in Tri-Colour, made their presence felt.
About 8000 Indian families are settled in Indianapolis who started arriving here in late 1960s.
