The camaraderie and sense of belonging that I have found here at Indische Gemeinde Düsseldorf, despite being thousands of miles away from home, is truly heartwarming. Indische Gemeinde Düsseldorf is not just a club, its a gateaway to a second family and a treasure trove of incredible memories created over the years during Durga Pujo, and our other cultural get-togethers.
