STORYLINE:
New York City got a taste of Bollywood on Sunday when it celebrated the 64th anniversary of India's independence with its annual India Day Parade.
Thousands of Indian Americans and other onlookers gathered along New York City's famed Madison Avenue for the event.
Bollywood actress Preity Zinta was the grand marshal of the parade, which has been put on for the past three decades.
New York's India Independence Day parade is the largest of its kind outside India.
It's put on by the Federation of Indian Associations and commemorates India's independence from British rule on August 15, 1947.
The Empire State Building was also lit up in red, green and white - the colours of the Indian flag - on Saturday and Sunday.
