If you don’t have travel plans to visit India, then Melbourne could be a great option instead next month. NGV International will once again present its annual Indian Community Day on Sunday 13 October, replete with Bollywood dancing, dhol drumming and DJ sets.

Victoria has the largest Indian community in all of Australia (371,901 people in Victoria with Indian ancestries, of whom 258,193 were born in India).
