The rainbow nation came alive on the promenade of the glorious Sunday afternoon . The ARYA SAMAJ team ( a small group of ladies ) put together an excellent show that was executed to perfection. A very lively group of more than 1200 ladies , men & children danced , sang to music & real hot drum beats all along the beach front . The event commenced with a chaotic show of exuberance from the SUN COAST beach to the AMPHITEATHER.

Our beautiful ZAKHIA AHMED led the lively & sometimes disorganized group in a show of elegance , color & charm. Our special thanks go out to staff of RADIO HINDVANI , HINDI SHIKSHA SANGH & the  ABH for providing  their brand of fun , support & entertainment . We thank all our media personalities for their continued coverage leading up to the event as well as after the great spectacle. We are also grateful to the many individuals & groups who danced & sang their way along the beach. The ETKHWENI municipality , staff & officials delivered wonderfully for a successful show piece.

The end of the walk ( almost 1,5 km ) meant that there were many hungry mouths to feed. They were not disappointed with our delicious treats. The guest speaker Mrs. JEEVIE NAIDOO dressed in a beautiful green sari spoke gloriously about the dignity , charm & elegance of an Indian garment. The CONSUL GENERAL OF INDIA was his usual humorous self . He expressed his appreciation of witnessing such a diverse group of ladies in pretty outfits. The U. S. CONSULATE was represented by MRS . F. CHISHOLM in her elegant attire. We had representatives from the MUNICIPALITY , PROF. USHA DESAI & DR. B. RAMBILASS in our midst.

The SARI STROLL has become an entrenched event in the DURBAN BEACH promenade . The ARYA SAMAJ will continue to host the STROLL as a major showpiece for all the communities of our city.
