The Hindu Temple of Delaware held its annual Indian Independence Day Parade on Saturday morning. Men, women and children, most wearing traditional Indian clothes, assembled at Hockessin Memorial Hall, crossed Route 41 (which the police shut down for about 10 minutes) and then marched east on Yorklyn Road to the temple.
Marchers carrying Indian and American flags led off the parade, followed by three horses from New Castle County's mounted unit, a temple float full of kids, county police cars and Hockessin Fire Company vehicles.
India gained independence from the British Empire on August 15, 1947.
