Volume 16 . Issue 73
It was cold, wet and windy in Wellington last Sunday, August 15, but not enough to dampen the spirits of more than 200 people who turned out to celebrate Indian’s Independence Day.
It rained heavily before the ceremony, but stopped during the ceremony and started raining again after the ceremony which had Admiral Sureeh Mehta at its chief guest.
People were provided with light Indian refreshments and masala Chai after the ceremony, which also featured cultural performances.
The crowd was generally very happy to be a part of the ceremony; most of them were dressed in traditional Indian clothes.
