About this event
Explore the five elements of South Asian tradition through a free, hands-on afternoon at Domain NORTHSIDE’s Amy Donovan Plaza. Presented by SAIVA (South Asians’ International Volunteer Association), Panchabhootam invites generations to create, move, and celebrate together, with elder artists leading five interactive booths inspired by earth, water, fire, air, and space. Try garden and textile arts at the Earth booth, discover food and traditional pickling techniques through Water, decorate lamps and enjoy dance with Fire, and experience live music and song at Air. The afternoon begins with a DJ dance party and includes yoga open to every age and ability. A finale of singing and a fashion show puts SAIVA elders in the spotlight, while the organization’s booth offers an opportunity to meet its team and learn about programs for South Asian older adults and the volunteers who support them.
