According to SASA public relations director Divya Murthy, more than 170 students attended the festival in Goldstein Auditorium. They enjoyed a dinner of rice, naan, vegetable korma, and dal, and finishing with gulab jamuns as desserts. Students took the dance floor both teaching and learning the traditional Gujarati and Rajasthani folk-dance, Garba.
