Dr Anju and Dr Arun Patel of Fullerton were among the sponsors of the event. Natoo Patel told IJ, “ We started back in 1974 with around five families in a garage. Years later we moved to a small church hall in Diamond Bar. Chimanbhai Kotecha and I moved on to organize garba events at Diamond Bar High School, Mount Sac College and Cal Poly Gym until 1984. We used to get few hundred participants back in those days. We always used good and dedicated local singers. Since 1984 we have been improvising and have larger and larger participants at Anaheim Convention Arena an UCI Bren Center.”
