October 19, 2025Diwali Festival Highlights
We were thrilled to welcome Ananda, the Sitar King, to our Diwali celebration! His incredible sitar performance, accompanied by a talented Taboola drummer, filled the room with authentic, vibrant sounds that truly captured the spirit of the festival.
The music created an unforgettable ambiance — it was the perfect touch to an amazing event celebrating light, joy, and community
