The festival, which will feature traditional food, dancing and music for all ages, will kick off from 11am on Saturday at Lavington's Mirambeena Community Centre.
BACSGAW member Devika Dahal said the festival recognised the anniversary of Lord Shiva and Godess Parbati's marriage, according to Hindu mythology.
"As a woman I like to host and make it happen for the coming generation to continue this festival in future," she said.
The festival hasn't been held on the Border since 2019 due to COVID.
