Our Story
Founded by a group of passionate Bengali families, our mission is to create a welcoming space where people of all ages can connect with their heritage, celebrate cultural festivals, and engage in educational and community activities. Through vibrant cultural events bring the community together to experience the richness of Indian traditions. Additionally, our programs—ranging from language and arts classes to community outreach—aim to foster unity, support cultural exchange, and inspire the next generation to embrace their roots.
Join us in our journey to celebrate, preserve, and share Bengali heritage in Maryland. Together, we can keep our traditions alive for future generations while building a strong, interconnected community.
