Dressed in traditional attire, including colorful Ajrak, shawls and Sindhi caps, the community presented a vibrant tableau of their cultural pride.
“Beyond the festivities, the event served as a significant platform to highlight the importance of the historic Indus Valley civilization, which flourished in Sindh (modern-day Pakistan) thousands of years ago,” said Umair Memon, president of Sindhi Sangat New Zealand. “This day is a vital event for our community to connect with our roots and share our heritage with others.”
