OverviewMeet the Patel family, especially Sumitra and her brother Krishna, both eleven years old, and join with their friends Peter and Susan as they learn something of what it means to be a Hindu living in Britain today. Come and see their home and share a meal with them. Feel the dignity and the pure fun of the major ceremonies in which the Patels take part during the course of a year. Be it a bonfire party or a wedding, you are sure to find a festival that captures your interest, even if it is different from those with which you are more familiar.
