There was an array of cultural events presented by different countries and India was represented by London�s Bordoisila Bihu Gosthi who performed the rhythmic and gracious Bihu dance from Assam. With the dancers adorning authentic attire made out of muga silk, the performance was eye catching as the entire sound for the well choreographed dance was created live on stage.
