What is a Mela?
Mela is a Sanskrit word meaning 'to meet', used to describe all sorts of community celebrations and festivals in the Asian subcontinent.
A long-standing tradition in South Asia, the Mela strengthens communities by bringing people together in a festival atmosphere where everyone can enjoy food, music and dance.
The London Mela has grown to be regarded, nationally
and internationally, as the most significant event of its kind. It's a
truly family-friendly event, and one for all of London to enjoy.
