Q: What is HUM Culture Night?

A: HUM Night is a Hindu cultural night. Basically, we all go to a banquet hall and we celebrate our culture with food, music, arts and henna. It is all about us in America while still maintaining our Indian culture.

Q: What is the significance of HUM Culture Night?

A: The significance of HUM Night is spreading our Indian culture to a lot of non-Indians; we celebrate that even though most of us were born in America, we are still intact with our culture.

Q: How long have you been participating in HUM Culture Night?

A: HUM Night is only for high schoolers, so I have been participating the past four years. This is my last time.

Q: How does it feel to be performing in HUM Culture Night for the last time?

Q: How can someone get a ticket for HUM Culture Night and how much longer will they be on sale?
