Across Britain, Indian communities mark a remarkable variety of festivals and cultural occasions. Their celebrations reflect different languages, regions, religions and family histories.
Public events, places of worship, cultural associations and schools often create opportunities for neighbours of different backgrounds to learn from one another.
From music and dance to food and volunteering, these gatherings can help younger generations explore their heritage while making traditions their own.
