DANDENONG’S Foster Street became took on the sights and sounds of India during the inaugural Bollywood Festival yesterday.

The festival included many aspects of Indian and sub-continental culture with a carnival of food, dance, music and sport.

The crowd enjoyed activities such as Bollywood dance lessons, yoga sessions and a cricket clinic.

The festival is also a promotion vehicle for Dandenong’s growing Little India businesses and organisers hope to make it an annual event.
