Indian Community in Leicester
Leicester is arguably the most culturally Indian city in the UK outside London. The Belgrave Road (known as the "Golden Mile") is the heart of the Indian community, lined with sari shops, jewellers, sweet shops, and restaurants. Leicester's Diwali celebrations on the Golden Mile are the largest outside India. Nearly 30% of the city's population is of Indian origin, making it a unique cultural hub where Raksha Bandhan is widely celebrated.
