AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND : The Hindu Organisations, Temples and Associations (HOTA) Forum is organizing a landmark cultural event for New Zealand society by celebrating the Hindu Festival of Raksha Bandhan - that promotes Universal Fellowship and venerates Womanhood. The festival will be celebrated on 29th August 2010, at the Dorothy Winstone Centre, Auckland.

Hindu Council of New Zealand is the first year host of the HOTA Forum, and will take initiative in celebrating the festival this year with support from all other Forum members. “This festival will convey the message that Hindus desire to integrate within the wider New Zealand community as a productive, law-abiding community. The HOTA forum can further enhance this integration” said Ms. Mamta Bhikha, coordinator of this year’s festival.
