Celebrate Navratri Season, Dandiya Night, Nov. 18

The Indian Cultural Association invites students to attend Dandiya Night, the celebration of the Indian Navratri Season, at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, at the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Bulding Gym 1. Dandiya Night is a religious and cultural dance. Students will be taught how to Dandiya and another traditional dance called Garba. Students can RSVP on Hogsync.

At Dandiya Night, the Eastern world will meet the Western world, as students listen to traditional Dandiya and Bollywood music, taste traditional Indian food and observe traditional Indian clothing worn by the officers and many attendees. Through this event, we hope to allow students and nonstudents alike to immerse themselves in Indian culture and leave the event after creating fun memories and learning something new about the culture and traditions of India.

This event is supported by the Student Activities Fee as a funded event by the Associated Student Government and is free to all currently enrolled University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, students who pay the student activities fee. This event is held in a venue that meets ADA standards. Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend this event. If you require a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this event, please contact Rhea Patel, rupatel@uark.edu, 501-349-6426 by five business days prior to the event.
