Indian expo kicks off with lion dance

The ninth edition of the Singapore International Indian Expo (Siiexpo) opened yesterday to the beats of Chinese drums and a lion dance performance, a surprising and unlikely occurrence at an Indian-centric event.

The auspicious and celebratory sounds reverberated throughout Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre's exhibition halls 403 and 404 when shoppers thronged the stalls as soon as the doors were thrown open yesterday morning. There were performances by Maya Dance Theatre, the Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society and Apsaras Arts.

The four-day event runs till Sunday, and entry is free.
