Maharashta Mandal of Los Angeles represents the Marathi speaking people of Maharashtra, India. Our Mission for the past 30 years is to promote Ma-rathi culture, art and literature in LA and Greater LA Area.

To promote Marathi culture, we organize various cultural programs such as Sankrant, Ganesh Utsav, Diwali and Holi. To sustain and promote Marathi Literature we have been maintaining a Marathi Book Library. We have also added Marathi Videos (VCDs & DVDs) to our library.

To spread Marathi literature we publish features, stories, articles, and po-ems from local authors in our bi-monthly newsletter Bharari and in our an-nual Diwali Ank.

We promote Marathi Art by inviting imminent personalities from Marathi Rangamanch from India to perform in LA Area. We provide a unique plat-form to local artist to showcase their talent by organizing plays, dance and singing competitions and supporting satellite events like Gunadarshan. Apart from promoting Art, Literature and Culture, we bring Marathi com-munity together by organizing social events like Camping Nights, Sports Day and Picnics.

Come join us in various celebrations !
