Prayers and dances were other attractions of the program.
Ms. Cynthia, one of the managers of Migrant Resource Centre of South Australia and guest of the celebration hailed the beauty of rich culture that Bhutanese had carried along. “The programmes as this would make you feel like living in your own cultural environment,’ she said.
