Mahalaya registration is now open!
We are a vibrant Bengali group based in Charlotte, North Carolina, united by our love for Bengali culture and a shared spirit of simplicity, inclusivity, and community. While our roots are Bengali, our doors and hearts are open to everyone, regardless of race, background, or ethnicity.
Our group includes grandparents, parents, children of all ages, college students, young professionals, and local friends from diverse communities. One of our core missions is to celebrate and share the richness of Bengali culture, especially with the next generation and with the broader Charlotte community.
We are proud supporters of green living and regularly take part in local community service initiatives. Throughout the year, we organize a wide range of cultural, festive, and casual events that bring people together in the spirit of joy and togetherness.
Come join us, and be a part of our celebration!
