The sights and sounds of India filled Leicester last Sunday as the annual Mela celebration took place. However, the weather made it feel a bit like monsoon season.

The whole of the market was turned into a bazaar filled with stalls selling Indian food, crafts and clothes, while more stalls lined Gallowtree Gate. Two stages were set up in Humberstone Gate and by the Clock Tower, where musicians and dance groups took turn to perform, including Nupur Arts, the popular Shiamak group, Andrea's Oriental Dance, Kuntal's School of Bollywood Dancing and many more.
