About this event
India Fest at the Hindu Community Center (HCC Temple) is KTA’s community showcase: vendor booths, a vegetarian food court, and a main stage featuring music, dance, and youth talent from across East Tennessee.
Kids enjoy diya painting and crafts; adults browse handicrafts and nonprofit booths. We close with a lighting moment and thanks to sponsors and volunteers — any outdoor finale elements depend on venue rules and will be announced in advance.
