To wrap up the month of November, in a dazzling celebration of culture, tradition, and community, the Durham Educators' Network for South Asians (DENSA) hosted an inspiring event during Hindu Heritage Month. The evening, filled with colour, rhythm, and flavors, brought together students, educators, and community members to celebrate the richness of South Asia and the Hindu heritage.
The event featured traditional dances performed by students of all age groups, showcasing the beauty and artistry of Hindu culture. Attendees were captivated by these dynamic performances, which highlighted the vibrancy and diversity of Hindu traditions.
