    Organisers said they were thrilled with the success of the festival, which saw nearly 4,000 people in attendance.
     
    "We're putting this event together for the community so that we can learn about each other and build a long lasting, trusting relationship," organiser Biren Pathak said.
     
    The festival gives a lot of information about the culture of India, he added.
