A Taste of India in Seychelles

Since the inception of the annual Seychelles India Day celebrations, a sizeable percentage of the Indian Ocean archipelago's 93,000 inhabitants, both of Indian origin and of other demographical backgrounds, descend on the town's small stadium for a musical gala night that celebrates Indian culture and heritage.

Dancers set off an explosion of colour, sequins and tightly sequenced dance moves.

Shakthisree Gopalan's performance left many in the audience moved.

What a show - spectators to the Seychelles India Day musical spectacular on Saturday were thrilled by the quality of the singing, dancing and musical performances of the night.
