GOG co-sponsored the Rochester Indian Association’s Diwali Dhamaka celebrations on October 17th, 2009. The event included entertainment by undergraduate groups UR Bhangra and UR Raas, as well as musical performances by graduate students, including the indo-fusion band, Desert Monsoon.

A highlight of the entertainment was a heritage show displaying various facets of indian culture from six states in India. The event culminated with an Indian dinner in Douglas Dining Hall and a DJ-ed dance night. Almost 500 people attended the event! More photos are posted at GOG’s photo gallery.
