Dressed in a sari, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Grace Fu joins a male dancer to perform the ancient folk dance Karagattam at the Yuhua Community Club yesterday.

The dance, popular in the villages of rural India, was part of a joint celebration for Chinese New Year and Pongal, organised by the community club's Indian Activity Executive Committee.

Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated mainly in southern India.

The event was aimed at fostering interracial understanding among residents.
