We spread awareness through festivities, arts, dance, music, and support charitable activities and educational programs for kids and adults.

Religious Education

Teaching about the life and stories of Lord Jagannath, his siblings Balabhadra and Subhadra, and the significance of the Jagannath Temple in Puri.

Cultural Program

Showcasing Odisha's unique arts and crafts, strengthening community and diaspora connections, organizing events like traditional dance and music performances and the annual Rath Yatra festival.
