Themed as 'Bollywood meets Hollywood', the event will showcase the various cultures of India, accompanied by dance, music and fashion show, to be held at a famous lounge in Washington called 'I, Indian Experience.'

Sankara Eye Foundation (SEF), a US registered non-profit organization that is planning to open another eye hospital in Punjab by the end of 2012, will sponsor one-third of the event, with a net budget of $4 million.

A SEF enthusiast and contributor Tejash Natali, along with Manan Singh Katohora, a South Asian filmmaker and events promoter are raising funds for the hospital through the musical event.
